For anyone interested in this topic, I think the contributions to the list have now 
plateaued. The final contribution, over the last couple of days, was an absolute 
mother lode from Prem Phyak, who already happened to have compiled an enormous list 
on this topic and got in touch with me about integrating it. Prem has beautifully and 
painstakingly integrated all these entries into the list already compiled, at least 
quadrupling its overall size (send your thanks to pphyak at gmail.com!).

This of course is not to overlook everyone else's fantastic contributions. The result 
now, after everyone's input, is a wonderful chronology of language ideology in the 
literature. Thanks to all who contributed (especially Prem); we now have something 
really valuable to share with students and colleagues.

Needless to say, keep contributing if you find new resources -- and if so, please 
remember to keep the order chronological, not alphabetical.

All the best,
Dave
