Abstract
Abstract This chapter provides an overview of historical and contemporary research examining multilingual socialization across a variety of transnational contexts. Socialization into multiple linguistic, cultural, and ideological systems, communities, or networks, whether concurrently, sequentially, or recursively, is a complex process. In this chapter, the authors first focus on theoretical multiplicity in existing and emerging language socialization research, especially within the field of applied linguistics. They then examine methodological variation in studies conducted in homes, schools, universities, and other settings, often with international students, immigrants, and heritage-language communities. The chapter considers the multifaceted nature of socialization in and across such settings, the mediating role of nonhuman entities and digital tools in addition to human interlocutors and physical materials, obstacles to intergenerational language transmission in some multilingual settings, the possibilities of self-directed socialization via new digital or online tools, and ethical considerations in critical and autoethnographic socialization research.
