摘要:

依据伯恩斯坦的语言编码理论,学生学习表现主要取决于语言类型与学术知识的密合度,这种密合度在不同社经背景学生间存在极大差异,此种现象归因于家长管教方式引领的特殊化语意沟通情境。尽管限制性编码与精致性编码各自生成于特定的语义情境,并无优劣之分,但后者契合学术性课程的知识结构,所以有利当事者取得优秀学习表现。延续此种理论路径,本文提出语言内部逻辑的概念,以解释两种编码的独特化词汇特征以及构成的逻辑路径,如何影响当事者的学习表现,因为情境本位的限制性编码属性偏向操作性、具体化、在地化、情感本位等特征,这些能削弱语词的分析与推论功能;非情境本位的精致性编码侧重分析、推理、综合、归纳等特征,由于这些特征之间的系统化关联性能将抽象语汇统合成有组织的言语结构,所以当事者能精熟逻辑推理的思辨活动。由此而言,学习表现的差异并非根源于语言类型,而是语言词汇构成的内部逻辑。

Abstract:

According to Basil Bernstein’s code theory, students’ academic achievements are mainly governed by the consistency of their own language type and academic curriculum. Since there are significant differences in the consistency among students from different socioeconomic backgrounds, this phenomenon can be attributed to the specialized semantic communication contexts led by parents’ parenting styles. Given that a specific context requires a special way of language expression to make communication between interlocutors understandable, language development is regulated by contextual features. These correlations explain why a restricted code prevails in lower SES families and middle-class students are proficient in an elaborated code. Although this principle accounts for their unique characteristics without any inferior-superior relationships between them, an elaborated mode meets the requirements of the academic curriculum, so this situation assists its possessor in obtaining better academic performance than their restricted code counterparts. The above theoretical lens suggests that different language types have their inner logic that administers their speakers’ thoughts and actions. Because the features of context-based coding orientation (i.e., the restricted code) tend to be operational, concrete, local, and emotional, analytical and logical reasoning are not the core elements in exercising language expressions. In contrast, the uncontext-based elaborated code emphasizes features such as analysis, reasoning, synthesis, and induction. Because of the systematic correlations among these features, abstract lexicons can be integrated into an organized verbal structure, making the practice of logical and analytical reasoning attainable. These correlations indicate that students’ learning outcomes are not substantially rooted in their language types but in the inner logic of the language they possess.
