HYPOTHESIZING ON SECOND LANGUAGE SOCIALIZATION THROUGH THE MEDIA
HYPOTHESIZING ON SECOND LANGUAGE SOCIALIZATION THROUGH THE MEDIA

Summary/Abstract: The paper below, without being the result of research per se, intends to show that the local Romanian media are a source of second language socialization for the young Romanian teenagers. Only two types of media are examined for instances that could create the possibility for such type of socialization to occur: the niche television and printed press. Without carrying out an actual survey and without actually verifying the occurrence of socialization, our hope is that the hypotheses we lay down in the paper below will perhaps be validated by future research.
