Abstract
This section contains lexical evidence for the subgrouping of the nine Philippine languages under study. Such evidence consists of exclusively shared vocabulary items.
The term lexicon has been used by Bloomfield in the sense of an appendix to the grammar of a language which lists the total stock of the morphemes of that language, and deals especially with the irregularities of its linguistic forms (Language 158–169; 264ff.). On the other hand, Karl Brugmann uses the term in a less rigorous and restricted way: for him lexicon is synonymous with vocabulary (Wortschatz), or the list of the words of the language. It is in this sense that I use the term.
