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.
