================================================================  

We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually
best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we
would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have
taken the trouble to respond to the query.

Subject: Rankings of Programs in Hispanic Linguistics 
 


Are there any published evaluations/rankings of North American programs in
specifically Hispanic Linguistics?  My searches for this have produced only
the standard NRC rankings as follows:

1) the NRC's 1994-1995 rankings for Spanish Language and Literature - which
evaluate overall Spanish PhD programs (presumably including the Hispanic
linguistics component)

http://www.nap.edu/dataset/pub/research_doctorate_programs_in_the_united_states/appendix_p/sthsll.xls

2) the NRC's 1994-1995 rankings for General Linguistics - which evaluate
Linguistics PhD programs (where Hispanic linguistics PhD students
could/would presumably do a portion of their linguistic graduate training)

http://www.nap.edu/dataset/pub/research_doctorate_programs_in_the_united_states/appendix_p/sthlin.xls

(New NRC information appears to be scheduled for publication in 2007.)

Inquiries with my immediate colleagues in the field have not turned up
anything further, so I am hoping that someone on the list will be able to
point me to some data.

Thank you.
