Acquiring Sociolinguistic Variation in a First Language: Toward a Socialization-Based Framework, Routledge Handbook of Variationist Sociolinguistics (to appear)
Résumé
When children or adult learners begin to acquire one or more languages, they are immediately confronted with the varieties of those languages. Based on the state of the art in a rapidly expanding field, the chapter focuses on early bidialectal acquisition by reviewing descriptive benchmarks of what children can do with varieties at a given age. These benchmarks are then updated by developing two themes: the construction of sociolinguistic gender identities and the learning of stylistic skills and indexicality. By bringing together the available results, a developmental scenario is outlined based on the successive situations in which children are socialized.
