For Wednesday 2/2, please read the following, both of which can be downloaded from the “Readings” section of this website.

Nunberg, Geoffrey. 1997, June 30. Lingo jingo: English-Only and the new nativism. The American Prospect.

Rodriguez, Richard. 1980. An education in language. In L. Michaels and C. Ricks (eds), The State of the Language, 129-139. Berkeley: Univ. of California Press.

Also, two scheduling notes:  first, we are currently one day behind the schedule given on the syllabus.  Second, with the anticipated “weather event” for the middle of this week, there is a very real possibility that our Wednesday meeting may be canceled.  In the event that our class is indeed canceled, I will be in touch with a revised plan for the upcoming weeks.
