heritage language Socialization Practices in secular yiddish educational contexts the creation of a metalinguistic community
ProQuest LLC, 2012Co-Authors: Netta AvineriAbstract:Author(s): Avineri, Netta Rose | Advisor(s): Goodwin, Charles | Abstract: This dissertation develops a theoretical and empirical framework for the model of metalinguistic community, a community of positioned social actors engaged primarily in discourse about language and cultural symbols tied to language. Building upon the notions of speech community (Duranti, 1994; Gumperz, 1968; Morgan, 2004), linguistic community (Silverstein, 1998), local community (Grenoble a Whaley, 2006), and discourse community (Watts, 1999), metalinguistic community provides a novel Practice-based (Bourdieu, 1991) framework for diverse participants who experience a strong connection to a language and its speakers but may lack familiarity with them due to historical, personal, and/or communal circumstances. This research identifies five dimensions of metalinguistic community: Socialization into language ideologies is a priority over Socialization into language competence and use, conflation of language and culture, age and corresponding knowledge as highly salient features, use and discussion of the code are primarily pedagogical, and use of code in specific interactional and textual contexts (e.g., greeting/closings, assessments, response cries, lexical items related to religion and culture, mock language).As a case study of metalinguistic community, this dissertation provides an in-depth ethnographic analysis of contemporary secular engagement with Yiddish language and culture in the United States. The project is based upon nearly three years of fieldwork in Southern California, Northern California, and New York in over 170 language classes, programs, lectures, and cultural events, resulting in more than one hundred hours of video- and audio-recorded interactional and interview data. It has also investigated literature, print media, and online sources related to Yiddish in secular milieus. In order to capture the diversity of actors and contexts through time and space, the study examines meta-Yiddish literature in historical context, conflicted stance (DuBois, 2007; Goodwin, 2007; Jaffe, 2009) toward linguistic alternatives as Socialization Practice, Yiddish "endangerment" as interactional reality and discursive strategy, a person-centered ethnographic approach (Hollan, 2001) to Yiddish as a heritage language, and epistemic ecologies in intergenerational contexts. This project explores the multiple ways that metalinguistic community members engage in "nostalgia Socialization" into an imagined nationhood (Anderson, 1983) of the Jewish diaspora, demonstrating the central role of language as identity maker and marker within multilingual contexts.

it takes a virtual village exploring the role of a career community to support sensemaking as a proactive Socialization Practice
Frontiers in Psychology, 2017Co-Authors: Darren Good, Kevin V CavanaghAbstract:Scholars have long advocated for individuals to play a more proactive role during organizational entry rather than relying on institutionally led processes. The primary benefit being that the newcomer moves from passive recipient, dependent on the institution to highlight relevant information, to active agent with self-determined sources and methods to aid in adjustment. A virtual career community made up of 12 first year business faculty members was created to provide such a self-determined source of support during the transition from doctoral studies to full-time assistant professorship. After the entry period (1 academic year), the interactions in this community were used as data for a phenomenon driven research study. The results illustrate how a virtual career community could be used as a proactive Socialization tool by encouraging sensemaking amongst first year faculty peers. The sensemaking process consists of perceived contrasts and tensions, followed by positive and negative self-disclosures, community feedback and the experience of cognitive-behavioral shifts. The findings also expand the proactive use of external referents during organizational entry, which previously had only looked at friends and family members of the newcomer.

MEANINGS AND MEANS OF CHILDREN’S HERITAGE LANGUAGE MAINTENANCE IN CHINESE IMMIGRANT FAMILIES IN THE UNITED STATES: THREE ETHNOGRAPHIC CASE STUDIES
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School, 2020Co-Authors: Wu HaoAbstract:This qualitative study investigated parental language ideologies and Practices with regard to heritage language maintenance and English language development of young Chinese immigrant children. The home languages in three case study families involve varying levels of proficiency in Mandarin and English and, in two households, two additional Chinese languages. Research methodologies (data collection and analyses) include in-depth interviews with parents, ethnographic observations of family life, and tape-recorded dinner-time table conversations. The study was guided by three compatible conceptual frameworks: cultural models of parenting and child development, language Socialization, and family language policy. The research questions examine (1) parental ideologies about heritage language(s): (2) ways that these language ideologies are reflected in parental discourse, language Socialization Practice, and decision-making regarding heritage language maintenance at home and beyond: and (3) changes over time in response to parents’ interpretations of their children’s language experiences and competencies, transnational experiences and extended family support, and engagement in schools and community. This study highlights the complexity and intersectionality of Chinese immigrant parents’ resources, experiences, perceptions, and decisions regarding young children’s heritage language development as their children transition to American school settings. It also helps gain an in-depth understanding about the rationale of language maintenance and loss, decision-making in the home domain, and the dynamic process of Chinese immigrant parents’ cultural belief systems at work in the new sociocultural setting of the United States. In addition, this study adds new insights into ways to study this complex topic and potential to integrate the theoretical premises and methodological tools of cultural models of parenting and child development, language Socialization, and family language policy.Doctor of Philosoph

family stress and parental responses to children s negative emotions tests of the spillover crossover and compensatory hypotheses
Journal of Family Psychology, 2009Co-Authors: Jackie A Nelson, Marion Obrien, Nayena A Blankson, Susan D Calkins, Susan P KeaneAbstract:The relations between 4 sources of family stress (marital dissatisfaction, home chaos, parental depressive symptoms, and job role dissatisfaction) and the emotion Socialization Practice of mothers’ and fathers’ responses to children’s negative emotions were examined. Participants included 101 couples with 7-year-old children. Dyadic analyses were conducted using the Actor–Partner Interdependence Model and relations were tested in terms of the spillover, crossover, and compensatory hypotheses. Results suggest that measures of family stress relate to supportive and nonsupportive parental responses, though many of these relations differ by parent gender. The results are discussed in terms of the 3 theoretical hypotheses, all of which are supported to some degree depending on the family stressor examined.
