Language and Ideology in the United States.
Macias, Reynaldo F.
Social Education, v49 n2 p97-100 Feb 1985
More than 22 million persons in the United States speak a non-English language at home. There is an ideology that associates non-English languages with foreignness, and often with poverty and inferiority. The background for this ideology, how it developed, and whether it is warranted are discussed. (RM)
