Meeting Description:

This session aims to address how children acquire culturally appropriate forms
of communication and social norms in parent-child interaction from the
perspective of language socialization. Language socialization is said to begin
from the moment a child has social contact (Schieffelin & Ochs, 1986). As
shared picture-book reading is a common practice in American households with
young children, some previous studies have employed book reading activities as
research materials. While these studies recognize the importance of a
longitudinal, sample-abundant, and interactional approach to language
socialization, they have yet to fully elucidate its discursive process due to
a narrow range of age groups and a limited number of samples (Fernald &
Morikawa, 1993), in addition to exclusively focusing on parental utterances.
This session, therefore, attempts to overcome these deficiencies by examining
parental and children’s utterances from the perspective of information
exchange and mutual stancetaking.

Contributors to this session are welcome to use their own data. Preferably, we
hope their data set is longitudinal and sample abundant, but this is not
mandatory. For reference, two contributors will be using an ample data set of
approximately 200 video recordings, in which American parents are reading The
Very Hungry Caterpillar to their children between 1-72 months old. Frequency
of book reading, history of reading the book to their children, and parents’
and children’s demographic information were also taken into consideration.

Contributors may take any approach to parent-child conversations in the
context of language socialization, but will mainly be consolidated into two
perspectives; from the perspective of conversational function, the linguistic
forms and content of the parents’ and children’s individual utterances will be
considered, while from the perspective of social function, the alignment
between parent and child that occurs upon assessment of events will be
evaluated. By incorporating these two perspectives, the more explicit exchange
of information between parent and child, including literacy development and
empathy training, can be tied together with the more implicit form of
communication, namely stancetaking. The notion of stance is closely associated
with socio-cultural values, and through the assessment performed by
caregivers, mothers, and teachers, children learn culturally appropriate
displays of positive and negative affective stance toward people, objects, and
events in their social world (Cook, 2011; Ochs, 1993). We believe that
connecting these two related but separate approaches helps to shed new light
on the complex and dynamic aspect of language socialization of young children
through their caretakers.
