Bambi B. Schieffelin

SUMMARY

In this study of language socialization among the Kaluli people of Papua New Guinea, Bambi B. Schieffelin examines the everyday speech activities between children and members of their families, linking them to other social practices and symbolic forms such as exchange systems, gender roles, sibling relationships, rituals and myths. In Kaluli society, as in many others in Papua New Guinea, reciprocity plays a primary role in social life. In families, social relationships are constituted through giving and sharing food. Children, however, are also socialized through language to refuse to share, creating a tension in daily interactions. Issues of authority, autonomy and interdependence are negotiated through these verbal exchanges. Schieffelin demonstrates how language plays a fundamental role in the production, meaning and interpretation of these activities, as it is the medium of social practice.Bambi B. Schieffelin is the author of 'The Give and Take of Everyday Life: Language, Socialization of Kaluli Children (Studies in the Social and Cultural Foundations of Language)', published 1990 under ISBN 9780521386548 and ISBN 0521386543.
