Thanks Chris
The complexity of relations between code, register and language seems to be
resolving with studies in individuation, such as this paper of yours...

Subject: [sys-func] Halliday On Bernstein's Codes
Dear Colleagues,

The following might prove useful for anyone who is unsure about how Bernstein's
notion of code variation relates to, and differs from, the notion of register
variation in SFL Theory.

Halliday (1978: 67, 68):
In terms of our general picture, the codes act as determinants of register,
operating on the selection of meanings within situation types: when the
systemics of language — the ordered sets of options that constitute the
linguistic system — are activated by the situational determinants of text (the
field, tenor and mode […]), this process is regulated by the codes. …
It is important to avoid reifying the codes, which are not varieties of
language in the sense that registers and social dialects are varieties of
language. […] The code is actualised in language through register, the
clustering of semantic features according to situation type. (Bernstein in fact
uses the term ‘variant’, i.e. ‘elaborated variant’, to refer to those
characteristics of a register that derive from the choice of code.) But the
codes themselves are types of social semiotic, symbolic orders of meaning
generated by the social system. Hence they transmit, or control the
transmission of, the underlying patterns of a culture and subculture, acting
through the primary socialising agencies of family, peer group and school.
