This book explores the nature of knowledge, language and pedagogy
from the perspective of two complementary theories: systemic
functional linguistics, and Bernstein-inspired sociology.
Bernstein's sociology of knowledge makes a distinction between
horizontal and vertical discourses as ways in which knowledge is
transmitted in institutional settings, with teachers as agents of
symbolic control.
Systemic functional linguists have explored educational discourse
according to similar hierarchies, and by bringing the two
perspectives together this book shows the impact of language on
knowledge and pedagogy. The contributors examine the different
structures of knowledge and the flow of information within the
school context, but also according to language in early childhood,
literacy, English, the social sciences, science and mathematics.
The result is a progressive and dynamic analysis of knowledge
structures at work in educational institutions.
"Language, Knowledge and Pedagogy "makes a major contribution to
linguistics, applied linguistics and educational theory. It will be
of interest to researchers working in these areas.
