Among a range of foundational contributions to research on language and culture, Ochs co-pioneered the field of language socialization, drawing on fieldwork in the US, Samoa, Italy and Madagascar to understand how novices are apprenticed through and into socio-culturally organized communicative practices. In this Masterclass, Professor Ochs will address some fundamental principles in the analyses that she has pioneered, primarily focusing on the middle class family unit in 21st Century USA. Professor PIA CHRISTENSEN, Professor of Anthropology and Childhood Studies at Warwick University, will act as discussant.
