We have developed a taxonomy of meaning for the concept of informality (see our most recent IDPR paper) and would like to expand and deepen the research by analyzing more texts per academic discourse.
The concept of informality is used in legal studies (e.g. informal law) but we need to identify key texts that explicitly define or characterize what is meant with informality. We are looking forward for your suggestions and thank you all for your help.
Hey Anthony, have you seen the global encyclopedia of informality? http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10041167/1/The-Global-Encyclopaedia-of-Informality-Volume.1.pdf
A quick search yeilded these results. Not sure how helpful the 1856 publishing will be in terms of language.
INFORMALITY. The want of those forms required by law. Informality is a good ground for a plea in abatement.Com. Dig. Abatement, H 1, 6; Lawes, Pl. 106; Gould, Pl. c. 5, part 1, Sec. 132.

Hi, Have you seen the special issue on informal practices of the state - Journal of Development Studies?
