Spanish term or phrase: Modelo lingüístico proporcional
Modelo lingüístico proporcional de la población chicana

I don't get any hits for "proportional linguistic model". Here's the abstract in Spanish (the English version is garbled).

Resumen: No hay acuerdo sobre qué modelo sociolingüístico resulta adecuado para explicar las variedades lingüísti-cas utilizadas por los chicanos, en particular sobre las variedades del inglés empleadas por este grupo étnico.El desacuerdo es resultado de distintos presupuestos, a veces equivocados, de los investigadores.

Para el efecto, nos servimos de cinco gráficas, cuatro de estados estadunidenses y una de toda lapoblación chicana. Dichas gráficas se fundamentan en principios lingüísticos y sociolingüísticos explícitos yen datos demográficos del censo nacional de 1980
