There are two major categories of information which we need to get from our Sakada interviewees. The first category are known as demographic variables. The second are experiential variables associated with their recruitment, travelling to Hawaii, adjustment to the plantation and job, social relationships in the plantation, economic and linguistic adjustment, etc.
This language lesson will focus on vocabulary in Ilocano and Filipino associated with Demographic Variables such as NAME (Given, Middle and Last Name); BIRTH INFORMATION (When and Where);
NAMES OF PARENTS (mother and father); MARITAL STATUS (single, married and widow), EDUCATION (elementary, high school and other training) and WORK EXPERIENCES at the time of recruitment.
