SUM: Fishman refs on English-only

[IUTZI-MITCHELL ROY _]

On 26 Jan 1996 I posted the following query:

> Subject: Seeking Fishman refs
> (cross-posted to Endangered-Languages-L and Linguist)
> I am seeking the references to what I believe are two articles by 
Joshua 
> Fishman (at least one of which had co-author[s]).  Both appeared ca. 
> 1990-94, if I recall correctly.  One was Fishman's interpretation of 
the 
> social and political forces underlying the English-only movement in the 
> U.S.A. in the late 1980s.  The other was a statistical analysis, 
> comparing multilingualism with economic development, civil strife etc., 
> using nation-states as the units of analysis.  If you have the 
references 
> to these journal articles, please reply by private e-mail; I will post 
> the citations to this list later.  Thank you.
