Thesis (Ph.D.)--Georgetown University, 2002.

Ethnolinguistic Identity Theory (Beebe and Giles, 1984; Hildebrandt and Giles, 1983; Giles and Johnson, 1987) indicates that a group's ethnolinguistic vitality (EV) and subjective perceptions of EV (i.e., SEV) impact its likelihood of survival. Research of EV and SEV has been primarily conducted outside the U.S., with few studies of Hispanic ethno-national groups. Studies examining U.S. Latinos are limited to Barker, Giles, Noels, Duck, Hecht, and Clement (2002), Gao and Schmidt (1992), and Giles and Barker (2002) and only Gao and Schmidt's analysis features SEV from the minority perspective. Despite a prominent role assigned to ethnic language use and identification, their relationship to EV and SEV remains unexplored.

520 $a Ethnolinguistic Identity Theory (Beebe and Giles, 1984; Hildebrandt and Giles, 1983; Giles and Johnson, 1987) indicates that a group's ethnolinguistic vitality (EV) and subjective perceptions of EV (i.e., SEV) impact its likelihood of survival. Research of EV and SEV has been primarily conducted outside the U.S., with few studies of Hispanic ethno-national groups. Studies examining U.S. Latinos are limited to Barker, Giles, Noels, Duck, Hecht, and Clement (2002), Gao and Schmidt (1992), and Giles and Barker (2002) and only Gao and Schmidt's analysis features SEV from the minority perspective. Despite a prominent role assigned to ethnic language use and identification, their relationship to EV and SEV remains unexplored.
520 $a Quantitative and qualitative methods were employed to study a bi-ethnic Northern California community. Objective EV measures were based on public and ethnographic data. Subjective EV measures were furnished by 51 Mexican-American (MA) adolescents who completed a survey incorporating Bourhis, Giles, and Rosenthal's (1981) Subjective Vitality Questionnaire. Updating of Giles, Bourhis, and Taylor's (1977) MA EV configuration was based on ethnographic data, since this and other studies (e.g., Ros, Huici, & Cano, 1994) furnish scant procedural information. T-test, MANOVA, and multiple regression analyses indicated respondents felt MA demography and status to be comparable to or greater than that of the Anglo-American (AA) majority. MA institutional support was rated lower than the majority, particularly with respect to language. Those identifying strongly as MA indicated greater MA SEV and, contrary to expectations, greater AA SEV than did weak identifiers. Chi-squared and Fisher's Exact Test results indicated Mexican to be the preferred ethnic identity, with choice unrelated to questionnaire language, ethnic identification, or country of birth. With one exception, factor analysis of language domains conformed to a typical English/Spanish division. T-tests showed virtually no relation between identity and language choice. This disconnect among relatively recent immigrants suggests a possible acceleration in language shift, as hypothesized in Lopez's (1978) early study of urban Chicanos.
520 $a Findings of this study are relevant to individuals investigating language maintenance and shift, Mexican-Americans in California, adolescent immigrants, language use domains, ethnic identity theory, ethnic identification, and present implications for English-only legislation.
