Abstract
The present study conducted an analysis of the morphosyntactic structures found in three specific news articles from the Cebuano-Visayan SuperBalita publication. The articles in question are titled "34 ka menor naluwas sa CCPO", "Signal Shutdown Sa Pasigarbo Sa Sugbo", and "Manindahay Sa Carbon Nabalaka Sa Grabi'ng Alkansi". The study aimed to address the following inquiries: the immediate constituents and rewrite rules of syntactic structures and the morphemic structures that comprise the content words within sentences of the news articles. The research employed a qualitative approach, specifically utilizing structural analysis. The frameworks of Corder's linear grammar and Pesirla's pedagogic grammar were employed, yielding the subsequent discoveries: The analysis of the three chosen textual samples revealed the presence of sixteen simple sentences, eleven complex sentences, and one compound sentence, specifically sentence 3, which was identified through its corresponding rewrite rules. The second problem's data unveiled the morphemic structures of content words, exhibiting a total of fifty nouns, fifty-eight verbs, five adjectives, and five adverbs. Most of the nouns present in the text are in their simple form, while three of them are compound nouns, namely uplan bulabug, minur di idad, and tunga’ng gabi. The prefix "ka" is employed in the formation of five complex nouns, namely kadagku-an, kagamhanan, kalihukan, kahigayuan, and kasumaran. On the other hand, the base words pama-agi and pasigarbu are utilized in the formation of the remaining two complex nouns, using the prefixes "pama" and "pasi". Most verb prefixes are observed to be bound morphemes, specifically "gi", "nag", "mag", "gipa", and "mu". The three chosen news articles from Cebuano-Visayan Superbalita exhibit the manifestation of morphosyntactic linearity, as indicated by the findings. Therefore, additional research on morphology and syntax may serve as a starting point for discourse that employs indigenous languages.
