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

- Arte de la lengua Pangasinan :o, caboloan, Corr. aum. y llevando en si el mismo compendio (1904) by Pellicer, Mariano

His works in the vernacular are some of the most representative, if not among the few that comprise that Pangasinan contemporary literary body. In his first book Balikas na Caboloan (Verses from Caboloan), the Pangasinan anlong resurfaces asserting its tradition amidst intersecting and pollinating genres and literary influences.
