- This monograph develops a novel approach to language and its relation to the world. It encompasses elements from sociology, social theory, anthropology and philosophy. More specifically, it attempts to avoid conceptualisations of language as purely 'social' without falling into any form of scientific or philosophical essentialism. It weaves together concepts from the primary texts of, among others, Dewey, Deleuze, Marx, and Irigaray. It also uses the work of A. N. Whitehead to argue that language needs to be conceptualized as a part of the world.
