You may also want to check out the work done on Language Socialization
by Bambi Schieffelin and E. Ochs. Schieffelin has a book out called "The
Give and Take of Everyday Life," which is quite good. Also, another
great ethnographic study that uses the lanuage socialization model is by
Don Kulick, titled "Language Shift and Cultural Reproduction". Both
books are worth checking into.
