The Materiality of Language

Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of language and the human experience, the work emphasizes the significance of viewing language as a material entity intertwined with social and political dynamics. David Bleich advocates for dismantling barriers to language access, which have historically marginalized certain groups through academic censorship and gender biases. By framing language as a flexible and manipulatable resource, the book calls for inclusive study and engagement with language, urging institutions to broaden access and understanding of its diverse contexts.
