Affordances
"‘[t]he affordance of anything is a specific combination of the properties of its substance and its surface’ in light of what it offers, provides, or furnishes for the animal that perceives it".
Webb Keane 2014, citing James Gibson, 1977: 67–8).
Dialogism (as linguistic remediation)
"the authentic environment of an utterance, the environment in which it lives and takes shape, is dialogized heteroglossia, anonymous and social as language, but simultaneously concrete, filled with specific content and accented as an individual utterance...language lies on the borderline [the medial?] between oneself and other. The word in language is half someone else's".
