Language, Power, and Minority Schooling.
Corson, David
Language and Education, v5 n4 p231-53 1991
Ways are discussed that education and the discourse practices it authorizes can routinely repress, dominate, and disempower language users whose practices differ from the norms that it establishes. The ideas of two key theorists, Bourdieu and Bhaskar, are linked and applied to such issues as schooling, high status language, and minority discursive accounts. (52 references) (Author/LB)
