Citation style

edit

This article uses six references, which is great, but way they are cited within the text could be improved. Thankfully, there are in-line citations—they just have to be converted into footnotes. I might just do this myself, but if anyone else wants to take a bite out of it that would be awesome. Here are some resources:

It should be straightforward, just tedious. Cheers. Braincricket (talk) 10:17, 3 December 2011 (UTC)Reply


Xicana vs Chicana

edit

I'm no expert of this and only found this page in searching for the term "xicana." An author I've read described herself as xicana and I was unfamiliar with the word. Now that I do know her meaning, I am left wondering the etymology. The article exclusively uses "chicana" instead of xicana, and I have even in my short exploration found both forms. Is there any more to know there? Is there any distinction in definition between the two spellings? Should the page include a Etymology section to clarify? 64.39.150.184 (talk) 00:46, 19 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

It should be Chicana. Xicana is nonsensical since it would be pronounced completely differently. Then again most Chicanos don't speak Spanish and tend to know little about Latin America or Mexican culture. --Php2000 (talk) 19:58, 22 September 2020 (UTC)Reply

Original poster returning. I have found more information on the topic. Under the Chicano article, it lists Xicano as an acceptable alternative. In fact, many proposed etymologies for the word list it as a shortening of "Mexicano." If anything, the transcription with a "ch" is divergent. If we look at the phonetics, moving from the voiceless velar fricative /x/ to the voiceless postalveolar fricative /ʃ/ is not a very large leap. What's more, the Chicano article also notes a phonetic drift in early modern Spanish where "x" was once pronounced as /ʃ/, where now it is pronounced as the modern /x/. But then, I'm sure you know all about this, given your full mastery of Spanish language and Chicano culture. Thank you for your help. 208.191.201.22 (talk) 17:39, 8 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
