That said, these broad commonalities give rise to significant divides regarding the social ontology of language, the forms of power that attend linguistic exchange, and how speech informs democratic agency.

In doing so, his challenge yields broader insights for a democratic politics of speech and the linguistic resources that facilitate such a politics. |
