Two languages can be said to be socio-culturally linked when (i) they are used by a considerable number of bi- or multilingual speakers, and/or (ii) a substantial amount of ‘linguistic output’ (text, oral discourse) is translated from one language into the other.

This presentation begins by assuming that linguistic ways of knowing, analyzing and sharing lead to similar, but unique, positive outcomes. Students trained in linguistic epistemologies, or ways of knowing and thinking, develop valuable abilities that greatly enhance essential life-skills and opportunities for career, personal and interpersonal success. I will review the research related to the development of science and mathematics epistemologies for pedagogical purposes in an effort to develop a model that could be applied to linguistic epistemologies. This will be followed by a critique of the previous, decidedly sparse, work conducted in developing an epistemology of linguistics for pedagogical purposes. I will compare and contrast this work with the proposed model and conclude by suggesting a developmental agenda for linguistic pedagogical practice based upon, not only what we want our students to know about language, but also how we would like them to think about how language functions..
