Economic capital refers to economic resources owned in terms of money and assets that have financial or monetary values.
Social capital refers to connections, relationships and rapport that are established through group membership and networking for mutual acquaintance and recognition. Symbolic capital refers to resources that are ‘recognized as legitimate competence
[or] authority’ (Bourdieu 1986: 49) manifested in individual prestige, honour, recognition and personal qualities.
Linguistic capital, as defined by Bourdieu (1990: 114) is ‘the mastery of and relation to language’ that may be embodied or inherited genetically, but can be acquired over time for communication and socialization involving both the language and culture of the society.
