Looking for article on invented languages (Esperanto etc.) and one on World Englishes

[humphrey tonkin]

I don't know of a single article that pulls this information together in quite this way, but the following may be useful:

Pool, Jonathan. 1991. The official language problem. American Political Science Review 85(2): 495-514.



Fettes, Mark.  1991.  Europe's Babylon: Towards a Single European Language?  History of European Ideas 13: 201-213. 



Fettes, Mark.  1997. Esperanto and language policy; exploring the issues.  Language Problems and Language Planning 21: 66-77.



There's also a book by Pierre Janton, Esperanto: Language, Literature, and Community (Albany: SUNY Press, 1993) -- plus loads of stuff on the Web.
