L'Economie des echanges linguistiques (The Economy of Linguistic Exchange)

Bourdieu, Pierre

Langue Francaise, 34, 17-34, May 77

A sociological critique of language which substitutes the notion of acceptability for grammaticallity; the analogy of symbolic force for communication; the question of the value and power of discourse for meaning; and "symbolic capital," inseparable from the social position of the interlocuter, for purely linguistic competence. (Text is in French.) (AMH)
