Originally published in 1981. This critique considers verbal deficit theories, especially Bernstein's, from a sociolinguistic viewpoint but with attention to the historical and educational context. It concludes that verbal deficit theories are educationally damaging, and proposes instead a linguistic ‘difference’ theory.
