I think the language planning section of Ralph Fasold's *The

Sociolinguistics of Society* (Blackwell, 1984) would be an excellent

place to start (the last three chapters, 70 pp.). If your student is

motivated, you might also suggest the three chapters before that, on

language attitudes, choice, and maintenance (c. 100 pp.). Our English

First movement seems to me to be motivated by just the collection of

fears and special interests that everybody else in the world of language

planning is trying to deal with.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my query a while back re: diversity

of accents in the U.S. Here's the outcome (sorry it took so long!; original

copies are on their way to Robert Wachal and Donald Livingston, who got

cited.)
