Of Pangasinan Grammar Books and Dictionaries I learned about the grammar and dictionaries of the Pangasinan language when I first read the Pangasinan Grammar (1970) by Rev. Fidel Amurrio. A couple of years ago or so, I received a copy of the Diccionario Pangasinan-Español (1865) by Fr. Lorenzo Fernandez-Cosgaya courtesy of Dr. Carl Rubino thru Dr. R. David Zorc. I was also able to secure a copy of Gramatica tan Diccionario na Salitay Pangasinan (1923) by Ernest Rayner. Then there is the latest Pangasinan-English Dictionary compiled by Mel V. Jovellanos. I am sure there are few more Pangasinan grammar books and dictionaries available but quite rare, out-of-print and/or part of a private collection. I would love to have some copies for my Pangasinaniana collection. Here are some the titles: - A contrastive analysis of English and Pangasinan (1968) by Schachter, Paul Morris - An English-Pangasinan dictionary (1975) by Constantino, Ernesto,1930- - Arte de la lengua Pangasinan :o, caboloan,
