Which term refers to the process of intellectualizing language?

• A. Intelektwalisasyon
• B. Kurukuro
• C. Metatesis
• D. Mapagkumbaba

Answer: (A)

Intellectualizing language means treating language as a subject for cognitive analysis, focusing on abstract, formal, and theoretical aspects of how language works. The term that directly captures this idea is Intelektwalisasyon, which literally signals the act of making language more intellectual or formal in its treatment. This aligns with approaching language from a thinking, analytical perspective rather than just everyday use. The other terms refer to unrelated concepts: Kurukuro is not about this process, metatesis describes a phonological change where sounds swap places, and mapagkumbaba denotes humility. So, Intelektwalisasyon is the best fit for the concept.
