I think the key word in Mike's comment on internalization is
transaction.
I cannot concieve of view of internalization that could involve making
something which is social personal without a transaction taking place
between personal invention and social convention. Using Dewey's use of
transaction in the process both the social construction and the personal
are changed in the process. What is internalized then is the result of a
dialectic process- the the social construction itself but a transformed
personal version.
