Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The performance of Spanish surnames as an identifier of the Hispanic population has proven to be only adequate in the southwestern United States and considerably worse in the rest of the country. Nevertheless, the concept of Spanish surname still finds widespread usage as a proxy for Hispanic affiliation in areas such as vital statistics (from some States), census data, school administration statistics, and affirmative action programs. Recent work at the Census Bureau, which led to the research reported in this paper, indicates that the less than adequate overall performance should probably not be attributed to the concept of Spanish surname as an identifier but rather to the presence of specific names on the existing list of Spanish surnames. Although the correlation between the Spanish surname and Spanish origin identifiers can never attain unity, a substantial improvement in the relationship (from about 80 percent agreement in the Southwest and 50 percent elsewhere) can be expected with an improved list of spanish surnames.

Download or read book Demographic and Socioeconomic Basis of Ethnolinguistics written by Jacob S. Siegel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-25 with total page 724 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a description and analysis of sociolinguistics written from a demographer’s perspective. It synthesizes the data on the materials, methods, and issues of this interdisciplinary field, pulling together the scattered materials published in this area into a coherent whole. Drawing on a wide range of sciences in addition to demography and sociolinguistics, including sociology, anthropology, statistics, psychology, neuroscience, and public policy, the book treats theoretical and applied issues, links methods and substantive findings, covers both national and international materials, and provides prehistorical, historical, and contemporary illustrations. The book treats the theoretical issue of how the language we use develops socially on a base of linguistic genetic capacity and the practical issue of how the intervention of the state and public figures may profoundly alter the natural evolution of the language. As such, this book will appeal to a wide range of users, from students to teachers and practitioners of social demography, sociolinguistics, cultural anthropology, and particularly to those social scientists interested in ethnic studies and human migration.

This book was released on 1993 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surname analysis is a potentially useful technique for identifying members of particular racial, ethnic, or language communities within a population. This paper reviews the existing state of the art for identifying persons of Hispanic or Asian origin, based on surnames distinctive of each group. The authors discuss the logic of surname analysis, describe several available surname dictionaries, and illustrate their applications in local redistricting. Results of the authors' ongoing validation studies suggest promising future directions for improving accuracy and broadening applications.

Download or read book The Hispanic Population of the United States written by Frank D. Bean and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 1988-05-26 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hispanic population in the United States is a richly diverse and changing segment of our national community. Frank Bean and Marta Tienda emphasize a shifting cluster of populations—Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central and South American, Spanish, and Caribbean—as they examine fertility and immigration, family and marriage patterns, education, earnings, and employment. They discuss, for instance, the effectiveness of bilingual education, recommending instead culturally supportive programs that will benefit both Hispanic and non-Hispanic students. A study of the geographic distribution of Hispanics shows that their tendency to live in metropolitan areas may, in fact, result in an isolation which denies them equal access to schooling, jobs, and health care. Bean and Tienda offer a critical, much-needed assessment of how Hispanics are faring and what the issues for the future will be. Their findings reveal and reflect differences in the Hispanic population that will influence policy decisions and affect the Hispanic community on regional and national levels. "...represents the state of the art for quantitative analysis of ethnic groups in the United States." —American Journal of Sociology A Volume in the Russell Sage Foundation Census Series
