David Bleich sees the human body, its affective life, social
life, and political functions as belonging to the study of
language. In The Materiality of Language, Bleich addresses the need
to end centuries of limiting access to language and its many
contexts of use. To recognize language as material and treat it as
such, argues Bleich, is to remove restrictions to language access
due to historic patterns of academic censorship and unfair gender
practices. Language is understood as a key path in the formation of
all social and political relations, and becomes available for study
by all speakers, who may regulate it, change it, and make it
flexible like other material things.
