Abstract
What is knowledge? How is it organized? How is it distributed? What is the relationship between language, social structure and the distribution of knowledge? And what difference does any of this make to education? Language, Knowledge and Pedagogy takes on these challenging questions, in the process seeking to forge a dialogue between Bernstein’s theoretical work in sociology and Halliday’s theoretical work in linguistics. Putting together two such vast and complex bodies of work is no mean feat.
