Drawing on the perspective of language socialization and a theory
of indexicality, this book explores ways in which learners of
Japanese as a foreign language and their Japanese host families
socialize their identities through style shift between the masu and
plain forms in a homestay context. Going beyond the usual
assumption that the masu form is a polite speech marker, the book
analyzes the masu form as an index of various social identities and
activities. The book discusses both socialization through speech
styles and socialization to use an appropriate speech style.
Qualitative analysis of dinnertime conversations demonstrates how
learners are implicitly and explicitly socialized into the norms of
style shift in Japanese in interaction with their host family
members.
