Overview

This book enriches the theory of individuation within Systemic Functional Linguistics, providing an interdisciplinary theoretical model for the study of individuation, which represents a direct contribution to the study of the theory of individuation. It explains how the counselors in community corrections use social semiotic resources to educate the offenders and correct their deviant psychologies and behaviors, and how the offenders use social semiotic resources to achieve their own transformation and reintegration, demonstrating the appliability and social explanatory orientation of the theory of individuation. The book subsequently demonstrates the inherent relationship between the concept of restorative justice and the discourse practice of psycho-correction in community corrections, expanding the research scope of Systemic Functional Linguistics and Legal Linguistics in the process. It also provides a reference guide for improving the practice of psycho-correction in community corrections and can be used for language training of the counselors.
