Immigrants are traditionally seen as hard to survey. Their number is often too small to be
analysed via data gained in general population surveys, and registers to identify them are
often missing or incomplete. Therefore, researchers are forced to use alternatives for
sampling. In the case of the Austrian Immigrant Survey 2016, an onomastic (name-based)
approach was used, establishing a sampling frame in a two-step procedure. This article
describes the concept and the implementation of the sampling and evaluates the sample that
could be realised.

The increase in intra-European mobility, powered by the successive enlargements of the EU, has higlighted the importance of the political participation of foreign residents, particularly in terms of eligibility, in the Spanish municipal elections. In the context of a research project entitled "Political participation as candidates of European residents in Spain" (Ref. CSO2012-32930), this methodological text shows the way we used an onomastic sampling to identify foreigners who are part of the party lists presented in the Spanish local elections, from year 2007 to 2015. This paper covers the technical implementation phases associated with the design, in order to determine the sampled population. ; El aumento de la movilidad intraeuropea, potenciado por las sucesivas ampliaciones de la UE, ha puesto en valor la importancia de la participación política de los residentes extranjeros, especialmente en términos de su elegibilidad en las elecciones municipales españolas.

Sampling of migrants in cross-national survey research is challenging. Established techniques such as random-route sampling or random-digit-dialing are associated with high monetary costs, in particular when small migrant groups are targeted. The use of onomastic (name based) telephone sampling is a relatively cost-efficient alternative, but it relies on a number of conditions (e.g., existence of telephone directories in the respective countries and inclusion of the target population). As the use of social networking sites (SNSs) has spread around the globe in the last 20 years, the present paper investigates whether a specific SNS, Facebook, can be used to sample migrants, with the ultimate goal to supplement other approaches. This article is based on data collected as part of a survey that used Facebook advertisements to sample Polish migrants in Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The study succeeded in sampling a total of 1,103 individuals who completed the relatively extensive questionnaire within the field period of 8 weeks (1,100 within the 4 weeks the advertisements were placed). In contrast to most of the few other studies that tried to sample respondents with the help of Facebook advertisements, no incentives were used. With nearly all (96%) of the respondents belonging to the target population and a total sampling budget of €500 (US$557), the method can be considered both accurate and cost efficient in recruiting people from the target population. Furthermore, our results suggest that the vast majority of the sample would not have been reached if onomastic sampling had been employed.

The use of the names and surnames of individuals as a selection criterion to construct the sampling frame of an investigation is an important strategy in the study of migration. Whether for a descriptive purpose or as a preliminary step in the design of a sample, it allows identifying a subpopulation that would otherwise remain difficult to access. This does not prevent obvious difficulties, typical of data collection methods in general and of this particular application (Alaminos, 1989; Francés et al, 2015; Santacreu, 2016). In this sense, as a strategy to investigate the reality of intra-European migrants, it has been frequently used by the OBETS research group in many national and international research projects, using as reference information telephone directories or, for example, electoral lists with the candidates in local elections. These pages examine their application conditions, as well as evaluate their internal and external validity. The study "Political participation as candidates for European residents in Spain", Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (CSO2012-32930), is taken as a reference case. For the internal evaluation, the information of cases extracted by means of inclusion and exclusion algorithm is reviewed on the basis of onomastic coincidences. The validation review highlights problems related to compound names or second generation. External validation is performed by comparing the results of internal validation with official and documentary information published by the media or political parties. Given the scarce public systematization of the data, this comparison is made in a specific way for different moments of time. The external validation designed corresponds to the logic of the hybrid data, proposed by Euroestat, using multiple sources of information. ; El empleo de los nombres y apellidos de los individuos, como criterio de selección para construir el marco muestral de una investigación, es una estrategia importante en el estudio de la migración.

El empleo de los nombres y apellidos de los individuos, como criterio de selección para construir el marco muestral de una investigación, es una estrategia importante en el estudio de la migración. Ya sea con una finalidad descriptiva o como paso previo al diseño de una muestra, permite identificar una subpoblación que de otro modo permanecería de difícil acceso. Esto no evita existan dificultades obvias, propias de los métodos de recolección de datos en general y de esta aplicación en particular (Alaminos, 1989; Francés et al, 2015; Santacreu, 2016). En ese sentido, como estrategia de indagación de la realidad de los migrantes intraeuropeos, ha sido empleada frecuentemente por el grupo de investigación OBETS, en múltiples proyectos de investigación nacionales e internacionales, utilizando como información de referencia repertorios telefónicos o por ejemplo las listas electorales con los candidatos en elecciones locales. Estas páginas examinan sus condiciones de aplicación, así como se evalúa su validez tanto interna como externa. Se toma como referencia de caso el estudio "La participación política como candidatos de los residentes europeos en España", Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad (CSO2012-32930). Para la evaluación interna, se revisa la información de casos extraída mediante algoritmo de inclusión y exclusión sobre la base de coincidencias onomásticas. La revisión de validación destaca problemas relacionados con los nombres compuestos o las segundas generaciones. La validación externa se realiza comparando los resultados de la validación interna con información oficial y documental publicada por los medios o los partidos políticos. Dada la escasa sistematización pública de los datos, esta comparación se efectúa de forma puntual para momentos diferentes del tiempo. La validación externa diseñada corresponde con la lógica de los datos híbridos, propuesta por Euroestat, empleando múltiples fuentes de información. ; The use of the names and surnames of individuals as a selection criterion to construct the sampling frame of an investigation is an important strategy in the study of migration.

The purpose of the publication is to concretize the idea of the artistic speech and style of the language of A.K. Tolstoy (1817–1875) in the verbal embodiment by revealing the specifics of using their own names in one of the early stories of his Gothic dilogy "Meeting in Three Hundred Years", as well as considering the figurative system of the work through the prism of the name – usage by Tolstoy. The main methods are a historical-literary one, ideological-thematic analysis, observation, continuous sampling, contextual analysis, classification. The results of the study are associated with the disclosure of the distinctive features of the onomastic storytelling space: the specifics in the use of onomastic classes, the participation of names in modeling the chronotope and the formation of a retrospective text, in the creation of the French coloring of the work, the implementation of the author's picture of the world, determined by aesthetic positions. The features of the figurative system of the story are revealed on a semiological basis, taking into account the leading principle of mirroring (enantiomorphism). The article shows that the parallel mirror-shaped oppositions of anthropoetonyms created by A.K. Tolstoy, along with topopoetonyms and other onomastic classes, serve as the compositional core of the story, determine the originality of the ideological-thematic plan and space-temporal relations, express the motive of duality and the concept of romantic two-worldness. Names and images, respectively, play a key role in the "Meeting in Three Hundred Years", since they form an idea of the features of Tolstoy's idiostyle and serve as the basis for the implementation of author's intentions. The novelty of the study is determined by the results of the study in the use of poetonyms and the construction of a figurative system in Tolstoy early romantic prose.

The article deals with the sociolect of the drifting subculture and its lexical features. Like any other, this sociolect not only generates unique lexical units to describe the realities of life of those belonging to the subculture but also contains numerous borrowings of lexemes and lexical constructions from other systems and subsystems of language, such as literary language, substandard language, related terminological and jargon systems. The author analyzed vocabulary collected with the use of the continuous sampling method when viewing numerous videos on the subject of drift. The analysis has shown that the sociolect contains borrowings from literary language, general jargon, sports jargon, motorsport jargon, jargon of car mechanics and substandard language. The presence of a large number of lexemes and lexical structures borrowed from the above-mentioned terminological and jargon systems is due to the mixed composition of carriers of the drifting sociolect. It includes not only pilots, judges and fans but also mechanics, commentators, track staff, as well as street racers. All the above experts and amateurs largely use motorsport, engineering, technical and special sports terms and jargon describing the realities of the subculture under study. As part of the sociolect, borrowings from Japanese and English languages have been found, which is due to the fact that the subculture originated in Japan and then developed in the west. The study has also identified an extensive onomastic system of the sociolect. This system includes both individual and group onyms. The relevance of this article is due to the lack of research on the sociolect and vocabulary of the drifting subculture despite the fact that the subculture itself is becoming increasingly popular.
