Maton的合理化语码理论与系统功能语言学的合作

On the cooperation between Maton's Legitimation Code Theory and systemic functional linguistics

社会学家Karl Maton通过继承与发展Bernstein的语码理论与知识结构理论,创立了"合理化语码理论"(Legitimation Code Theory,简称LCT)。自本世纪初,系统功能语言学(SFL)一直与LCT进行着跨学科对话。本文探讨三个问题:1)LCT的主要内容有哪些?2)在现阶段研究中,LCT与SFL在哪些方面联系紧密?3)这两门理论如何展开合作?我们认为:LCT中的"语义性"原则与SFL联系最为紧密;在课堂教学中,语义波与权力词汇、权力语法、权力话语组织紧密合作,为学生建构非常识性知识提供了保障。

Sociologist Karl Maton has formulated Legitimation Code Theory(LCT), thereby inheriting and developing Bernstein's Code Theory and Knowledge Structure Theory. Inspired by the transdisciplinary dialogues between Systemic Functional Linguistics(SFL) and LCT since the beginning of this century, this paper addresses three questions:(1) What are the major contents of LCT?(2) In what areas can a close relation be found between LCT and SFL?(3) How do SFL and LCT cooperate in practice? It is contended that the principle of semantics in LCT relates most closely to SFL andthat semantic wave works closely with power words, power grammar and power composition in classroom teaching, contributing to students' construction of uncommon sense knowledge.
