伯恩斯坦语言社会学思想渊源及其理论意义研究

An Exploration of the Foundation of Basil Bernstein's Sociology of Language and Its Theoretical Significance

文章通过对伯恩斯坦学术思想渊源的梳理发现,系统功能语言学的功能语义观和社会符号学为伯恩斯坦早期的语言语码研究提供了宏观的语言学框架,萨丕尔、马林诺夫斯基的文化人类学和维果茨基的文化—历史心理学开启了语言研究的"文化转向",米德、涂尔干等学者的社会学思想的融入则把"语码"推演至教育话语的高度。这种跨学科的语言研究是20世纪社会学的"语言转向"的必然结果,为语言/话语研究搭建了一个社会学、心理学、语言学沟通的桥梁,也为探究语言、心理、现实三者之间的关系提供了新的视域。

This paper is going to explore the theoretical foundation of Basil Bernstein＇s sociology of language. The study shows that Bernstein＇s early language investigation is based on Systemic Functional Linguistics which sets an overall framework for his linguistic code research. A＂cultural turn＂is taken within the notion of＂code＂with the insights from American anthropologists and Vygotsky＇s cultural-historical psychology. Later,George Mead＇s symbolic interactionism and Durkheim＇s social labor division theory help Bernstein develop his linguistic study to the construction of his pedagogic discourse theory. Bernstein＇s interdisciplinary study on language is one of the outcomes of the＂linguistic turn＂in sociology in the 20 th century,building a bridge between linguistics,psychology and sociology for the study of language/discourse as well as the inter-relationship among language,mind and reality.
