Abstract
This paper profiles the pathway from Bernstein’s code theory and knowledge structure to Halliday’s grammatical metaphor. It firstly delineates the theorizing of code theory and knowledge structure, and subsequently describes the process of associating itself with Karl Maton’s legitimate code theory. Finally, drawing upon the semantic dimension of legitimate code theory, that is, semantic density and semantic gravity, Halliday’s grammatical metaphor is expounded sociologically.
Highlights
The theory of pedagogic sociology, proposed by the British eminent pedagogic sociologist Basil Bernstein, is one of the most significant theories in the field of sociology, which influences later researches in sociology (e.g. Maton, 2013, 2014; Wignell, 2007) and in linguistics (e.g. Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004; Martin, 2013)

Summary
The theory of pedagogic sociology, proposed by the British eminent pedagogic sociologist Basil Bernstein, is one of the most significant theories in the field of sociology, which influences later researches in sociology (e.g. Maton, 2013, 2014; Wignell, 2007) and in linguistics (e.g. Halliday & Matthiessen, 2004; Martin, 2013). What is worth of mentioning is his code theory, which was put forward in the 1960s, and the theory of knowledge structures proposed in 1990s Both of the two theories are incorporated and further delineated in his later monograph, entitled Pedagogy, Symbolic Control and Identity in 2000. The ideas about code theory and knowledge structure are explained first, and their influences on the formation of LCT are expounded; the semantic dimension of the LCT is paid solely attention to, and the final section is devoted to the exemplification and association of semantic dimension with grammatical metaphors
