I think using foreign terms as a way to demonstrate the exclusion of the reader, and really the rest of the world, is a great idea. I didn't even make that connection while I was reading it.

One of the things we talked about at great length in my class was about how the inclusion of foreign terms is at times a way to exclude readers who would normally be the more privileged reader (thus making an "insider" feel like the "outsider" she is reading about). Of course I don't know Hulme's true purpose with the glossary but in addition to the words not being alphabetized, there are many words that aren't included at all.
