Review of "Language Socialization in Bilingual and Multilingual Societies"
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This ambiguously titled, edited volume includes a brief introduction and 16 case studies that address issues of language and identity, acculturation and assimilation, language ideology, language shift, and language socialization in bi-and multilingual contexts.It would make an attractive secondary text in upper-division and graduate-level courses in language education, second-language acquisition, and bilingualism, in which the goal is exposure to diverse, contemporary settings, rather than theoretical and conceptual depth.The book is nominally divided into four sections: language socialization (1) at home, (2) at school, (3) in communities and peer groups, and (4) in the workplace.Ten of the chapters deal explicitly with school settings or literacy.Five of the studies are based on data from the United States, six from Canada, and one each from Australia, Hungary, Bolivia, India, and Egypt.Most of the 22 contributors, who are half Canadabased and half U.S.-based, are in education or applied linguistics departments, with a few from anthropology and sociology.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
