This document is a summary of Basil Bernstein's theory of restricted and elaborated codes from his 1960 work "Class, code and control". It discusses how Bernstein theorized that social groups use different linguistic codes - a restricted code that uses simple sentences and predictable vocabulary or an elaborated code that has more grammatical variability and individual expression. It also notes that code usage is determined by factors like a person's social group and role in a communication exchange.
