Hi everyone,

As promised, below are the references I gathered from the emails 
received in respond to my query two weeks ago. Thanks so much to 
everyone who replied!! (At risk of seeming like a self-promoter, I'm 
adding a piece of mine which is forthcoming.) I hope I didn't miss 
anything, and apologize if I did. Finally, if anyone wants an RIS 
version or other form of these references to enter directly into 
bibliographic software, pls email me (or let me know where I can post 
such a file for downloading).

The three major themes, partially shaped by how I worded my query: (1) 
language policy and standardization, (2) language and asylum, and (3) 
critiques of Habermas (especially affective dimensions) and ideas of 
free speech.

The following website contains a bibliography of a large literature on 
language and determinations of origins (important for asylum cases esp.):

Hi everyone,

Just wondering what references pop into people's mind on language and
citizenship? I'm especially interested in two things. First, anything
that challenges the liberal vs republican divide in thinking about
citizenship, and second, anything that challenges the approach of
Habermas et al, which assume a liberal language ideology of
"critical-rational" speech when speaking in public.

But, anything that you think tackles the relation of language and
citizenship usefully would be great!

I will post any and all suggestions back to the list, so feel to email
me back directly.

Thanking you in advance,
Alejandro
