On 26 Jan 1996 I posted the following query:
 
> Subject: Seeking Fishman refs
> (cross-posted to Endangered-Languages-L and Linguist)
> I am seeking the references to what I believe are two articles by
Joshua
> Fishman (at least one of which had co-author[s]).  Both appeared ca.
> 1990-94, if I recall correctly.  One was Fishman's interpretation of
the
> social and political forces underlying the English-only movement in the
> U.S.A. in the late 1980s.  The other was a statistical analysis,
> comparing multilingualism with economic development, civil strife etc.,
> using nation-states as the units of analysis.  If you have the
references
> to these journal articles, please reply by private e-mail; I will post
> the citations to this list later.  Thank you.
