Social Control and Socialization: A Study of Class Differences in the Language of Maternal Control (Primary Socialization, Language and Education)

By Jenny Cook-Gumperz

Basil Bernstein's theory of social control was the basis for this pioneer study. First published in 1973, the author's research was particularly important in that it made use of analytical methods which could measure numerically the manifestations of the 3 kinds of control - imperative, positional, personal - that Bernstein distinguished.
