Language uniquely serves as a simultaneous metaphor for both the individual and the systems at play within a given culture. Any language evolves alongside a culture, a milieu, a community, a locality. As the living, breathing, material entity that it is, that language then has a hand in shaping the mind of its speaker.

Language, as an open system, shapes the speaker while consistently evolving despite the speaker.
In our computer-mediated digital age, materiality must be situated as distinct from physicality.
