Diglossia thread

[Cyndi Dunn]

It just occurred to me to mention two articles that seem somewhat relevant here since both deal with issues of devising writing systems for formerly unstandardized languages (Haitian Creole and Louisiana Cajun French).

Schieffelin, Bambi B. and Rachelle Charlier Doucet (1994) The "real" Haitian Creole: Ideology, metalinguistics, and orthographic choice. American Ethnologist 21: 176-200.

Brown, Becky (1993) The social consequences of writing Louisiana French. Language in Society 22: 67-101.
