G. teachers, professors, social workers, lawyers, etc. However, these too can rarely offer full-time commitment and are usually establishment regulated and establishment dependent in many ways. Moreover, much of the literature on collective action and social action is too general in its orientation to be of direct relevance to RLS efforts or to early RLS efforts in particular. In the latter connection, the accumulated body of theory and data pertaining to organisational functioning, to neighbourhood organisation and to interest-group processes may be more helpful.

This is a tremendously influential setting for RLS efforts and, indeed, one which pervades and colours all of social life, particularly in modern, secular contexts. With its necessary implications for social status and mobility the worksphere has become the most fully rationalised and cross-nationally cross-ethnically, and cross-linguistically connected domain of modern functioning. As such, it is a particularly difficult area for RLS to penetrate, influence and control. The growing predominance of multinational firms and the frequent rotation of their office incumbants, plus the fact that services or products are provided to an ethnolinguistically very heterogeneous clientele and that there is a constant growth and change of technology, products and services, are all features that prove to be linguistically problematic for all but the largest 'establishment languages'.
