From the rear cover
"Imaginative, comprehensive, textured, and always thought-provoking, this volume refigures language socialization - across a range of ages and situations - at the heart of the social lives of language. An elegant and indispensable contribution." Don Brenneis, University of California, Santa Cruz
"Language socialization research brings an extraordinarily sensitive and coherent analytical framework to bear on issues of major consequence for the human sciences. Its program of cross-cultural comparison is now fully extended to contexts of rapid and often disjunctive social change, and this volume provides an indispensable overview." Ben Rampton, King's College London
The Handbook of Language Socialization presents a comprehensive survey of the latest research and our current state of knowledge in this flourishing field, which lies at the intersection of anthropology, linguistics, and psychology. At its heart is the important question of how, in the course of acquiring language, children become speakers and members of communities. The Handbook brings together the history of this recent field and its latest developments and best insights from international fieldwork, including those gleaned from second and heritage language socialization, literacy and media socialization, and socialization beyond childhood and across the lifespan and institutional settings.
The Handbook of Language Socialization is an important resource focusing on the social and cultural implications of children's communicative development and those aspects of language acquisition that have been left out of previous linguistic and psychological studies.
