Annotation

This volume illustrates origins of Bourdieu's most important concepts on education, the main findings and arguments concerning the role of language and linguistic misunderstanding in the educational process, and it reports four empirical studies on university students and their learning environment which could serve as useful models for research in today's institutions of higher education.
