Summary

After an initial inquiry into the distinction between difference and the differential, in a text’s constant divergence from itself, the chapter examines the relationship between language and anatomy: how deeply embedded in the body is language? How biological is it? And what repercussions do these questions have for translation? There follow further reflections on the written and the spoken and poetry’s part in that dichotomy. The chapter then engages with issues of speech-flow and articulation and goes on to look at connections between diversity and the subjectivation of expression.
