The papers in this volume form a continuous record of Basil Bernstein's ideas as they evolved during the twelve years of his emergence as a key thinker on sociological, linguistic, and educational matters. The totality of Bernstein's thought is presented, when heretofore only his early and most controversial theories have been known in this country. He discusses the socio-linguistic features of speech, dealing with regulative, instructional, interpersonal, and imaginative aspects as functions primarily related to contexts of socialization. In the introductory chapter, Bernstein provides a short developmental autobiography which sets a framework for his papers and in which he defends himself against misinterpretation and misunderstanding of his perspective.

He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation." - Johns Hopkins University.
