query - ethnographies of non-Western public speaking

[Patricia Covarrubias]

David,
I don't know if I'm too late on this, but just in case.
In my book, 2002, Culture, communication, and cooperation: 
Interpersonal relations and pronominal address in a 
Mexican organization, Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, 
Boulder, CO. (Soft cover edition 2005)

I address what I call "provisional relational alignments" 
wherein workers using Mexican Spanish code switch pronouns 
when they engage in public interaction (i.e.,. at business 
meetings). Chapter 4 would be useful. I think your 
university library has the book.
