Implicaciones educativas de los análisis sociolingüísticos de Basil Bernstein

Résumé

When it comes to explaining the role of language in cultural and social reproduction, Bernstein has gone from a simple conceptual outline, based on the notions of public language and formal language, to a complex outline, centred on the concepts of the elaborated code and the limited code, according to which certain structural realities, such as social classes, power, ideologies, through certain transmission and cultural control agents, primarily family an school, determine certain rules of communication and forms of conscious reasoning in individual to which they have given some linguistic codes of others. The dominant class acts decisively on the institutions in charge of cultural reproduction in order to compel reproductive transmission. The need for political and economic change, without forgetting the teracher's training as an instrument of change, knowing the mechanisms of the afore mentioned cultural reproduction and making teaching a transforming practice.
