Identity, Conflict, Interaction

The theme of this volume revolves around three distinct yet interconnected analytical categories: identity, conflict, and interaction. The contributions collected here foreground the challenges, tensions and limitations inherent in identity construction, conflictual online discourse as well as verbal interaction, whether investigated independently or as an interplay across these domains. Theoretically, the contributions are ingrained in various scholarly traditions which comprise educational studies, educational philosophy and psycho- and socio-linguistics, including the socio-pragmatic aspects of digital discourse.
