Abstract

Phonological patterns of Kapampangan were established and compared with the phonological patterns of Tagalog and Cebuano, using sample texts of the three languages. A modification of the occurrence matrices by Trubetzkoy, called the Consonant Sound Sequence (CSS) and Syllable Sound Sequence (SSS) frequency matrices were constructed to represent the sample texts. Distances between the Relative Frequency Matrices of both the CSS and SSS were computed to measure the difference between the texts they represent. The distances between the mathematical representations of the texts obtained show the three languages are separated from each other in terms of the CSS Patterns but more or less similar in terms of the SSS Patterns.
