About this title

Review

Bernstein allows us to see social class as more than simply an economic category but as a sociolinguistic and cultural category as well.--Discourse & Society

Synopsis

This text, the fifth in the series developing Bernstein's code theory, presents a clear account of the most recent developments of this code theory and, importantly, shows the close relation between its development and the empirical research to which the theory has given rise. This book addresses the central issue of Bernstein's research project: are there any general principles underlying the transformation of knowledge into pedagogic communication? This new edition of Bernstein's classic book is updated with three new chapters: on discourse, on official knowledge and identities, and with a wide ranging interview with Joseph Solomon. Published as Volume V in his Class, Codes, and Control series, the book builds on the continuing tradition of Bernstein's influential work on class education, language , and society.
