  • GG/Y effectively appears to operate to translate differences in terms of social class into differences defined as 'ability'

  • Hebdidge: 'Subculture: the meaning of style' cf 'social class + the meaning of ability'

  • My analysis: a dialogue between a developing OL and an increasingly expansive and detailed empirical text

    • the final description of the textbooks is a part of the public domain of my OL
