Sample text

For Bernstein a restricted coding orientation, typical of someone in a relatively unspecialized context and with a relatively direct relation to the social base, predisposes that person to context-specific meanings; an elaborated code orientation, typical of someone in a more specialized context and with a more mediated relation to the social base, predisposes that person to universalistic, non-local, context-independent meanings. The principal attribute of an elaborated coding orientation is that it is able to realize more combinatorial possibilities than a restricted coding orientation.

It also works at a higher level of abstraction than codes. The rules regulated by the pedagogic device are resources for the construction, reproduction, transformation and change of codes rather than the codes themselves – one sees the effects of the device and not the device itself. At the same time, this stage of Bernstein’s work subsumed earlier understandings of codes at a higher level of abstraction, which he now defined as: O ±C i/e ± Fi/e where O refers to ‘orientation to meaning’ (elaborated or restricted) and the line refers to the embedding of this orientation in relative strengths (stronger and weaker) of classification and framing (1990: 43).
