bernstein
what does berstein argue?
there are two types of speech codes; restricted and elaborated
what is the restricted code?
limited vocabulary spoken by w/c with short and unfinished sentences. it is context bound so the speaker assumes the listener shares the same experiences
what is the elaborated code?
wider vocabulary spoken by middle class with longer complex sentences. it is context free as the speaker does not assume the listener shares the same experiences
what does bernstein also argue?
m/c have an advantage as schools (teachers and workbooks) use elaborated code whereas w/c have a disadvantage as they cant access what is going on in class

blackstone and mortimore argue that w/c parents attend fewer parents evenings as they work longer hours and are put off by the m/c atmosphere. the w/c may want to help but don’t have the knowledge to do so
