Definition

  • Essay Editor's Note: This essay is an abridged version of the Du Val Lee Lecture delivered by the author as part of the Community Faculty Lecture Series of the University of Arizona, in 1999. There is an essential paradox, a contradiction, in the way we have conceived of the role of languages other than English in public life in the United States.
