Etnografía cuantitativa. Revitalización lingüística y difusión de las tecnologías digitales en municipios de Oaxaca, México

Abstract

This article’s objective is to analyze the relationship between indigenous languages and internet access in Oaxaca. Using quantitative methodology, we estimate the probability for Oaxacan municipalities to have internet access. We calculate the correlation between being an indigenous language-speaker and social media user. The results of the analysis present a positive correlation between the number of mobile phones in a municipality and internet access. Likewise, social media usage is correlated positively with being an indigenous language-speaker.
