The Many Facets of Remediation in Language Studies

The notion of remediation can refer to a series of linguistic cultural and psychological processes by means of which language and discourse are refashioned into new forms. Firstly it functions via language the system through which we interpret and construct our understanding of reality and at the same time it functions through the sense of self we perceive and project onto others. The contributions in this volume thus cover a multifaceted variety of approaches to remediation that examine new and hybrid text-types as well as representations of identity.
