(includes list of textbooks)

Classification by topic here is flexible, as many readings might have gone under more than one heading (e.g. for Language Planning/Policy works, also look under regional headings for Europe, Africa etc.). I've sometimes put one reading under several headings. If you can't find a work or author, search the alphabetical version of this page. Please note that many texts here are available electronically through the library.
