I am glad to hear your positive evaluation of Bernstein. He got a very bad
rap on the "restricted/elaborated" code issue and I think that he was pretty
misunderstood.
As to the heavy use of language to identify class in Great Britain, could
that be a cultural issue, indicating that the ways in which class manifests
itself in socialization and development from culture to culture varies??
