How do restricted and elaborated codes affect people's lives? elaborated codes are much more complex and are supposedly for a more middle-upper class. It is based more on logical stands than resctricted codes are. Restricted codes are more simple, use easier sentence structure
What are the basic characteristics of restricted and elaborated codes? Restricted codes have a basis in condensed symbols, while elaborated codes are based in articulated symbols.
What positive attributes are connected to each code?
How do langauge codes shape future behavior?
Supposedly, if children grow with an elaborated or restricted code they will ascert themselves in either the middle class or low class culture.
Does this coding notion help explain the "culture of poverty"?
In my oppinoin, it does not. The culture of poverty cannot simply be explained by the language. End.
Which code did your parents speak when you grew up? Give an example.
I like to think my parents used the restricted code. They wouldn't know about the "code" and they did use emotion. However, the fact is probably they used the elaborated code. Always using semi-complex wording and grammer and many qualifiers were part of the language. The vocabulary was varied and they are middle class through and through.
Do you think the mass media have affected the codes people learn?
I certainly do believe so. Even though my parents would use elaborated code with me, I learned restriced code from television. Children are very impressionable at a young age and the media has so many techniques for getting their message out there, whatever it may be.
