- - - - LANGUAGE SOCIALIZATION
        
        Sees social structures as outcomes of social practices in common with the symbolic interactionist and cognitive orientations in sociology
        
        Language Socialization pursues a more developmental perspective with primary interest in how a novice acquires the competence to become a member of the community keeping language central in the process
        
        Language plays a central role in how individuals mediate their interaction with the world
        
        TENETS OF LANGUAGE SOCIALIZATION
        
        Concerned with how persons (novices) become competent members of their community by taking on the appropriate beliefs, feelings and behaviors, and the role of language in this process.
        
        Makes two major claims: first, the process of acquiring language is deeply affected by the process of becoming a competent member of society and second, the process of becoming a competent member of society is realized to a large extent through language.
        
        The Indexicality Principle
        
        Language practices can index (i.e. point to or signal) sociocultural information and by interacting with more expert members in language practices novices develop an understanding of sociocultural phenomena.
        
        Not only can language form and content index sociocultural information at the communicative level, but also communicative practices themselves are organized reflecting more general systems of social order and cultural knowledge.

        Indexicality is a complex process and there must be room (and mechanisms) for negotiation, clarification and repair. Indexical meaning may involve more than the presence of one linguistic form alone.
        
        Socialization through language examines how language is used as a medium or tool in the socialization process and how it may be either explicit or implicit
        
        It is the socializing power of participation in language practices, which are socially organized and potentially culturally diverse, that is the focus of the revised concept of linguistic relativity
        
        Language Socialization is closely linked to linguistic anthropological perspectives concerning linguistic relativity and communicative competence. It also draws upon ethnography of communication.
