what are speech codes
Bernstein 1975- Speech is an important form of communication in education.
Restricted speech codes
-Short and grammatically simple and uses unfinished sentences. limited use of describing words
Elaborative speech codes
-Explicitly verbalises meaning, shows relationship between things and provides explanation in detail that can convey feeling through words
How are speech codes an advantage to the upper classes
-Elaborated code is language used by teachers, textbooks and exams
-It is seen by the public as the correct way to speak
-more effective for analysing, expressing and reasoning
However sociologists argue that it is not the pupils fault but its because they are culturally deprived but its because schools fails to teach them how to use elaborative speech code
