Patio Chair vs. "Patio Chair" vs. a patio chair

If “the materiality of language” is such an important object, there must be some more interesting verb we can apply to it than “foreground” or “be concerned with.” The materiality of language vs. the language of materiality.

***
Is there really such a thing as the materiality of language? Is it different in kind from the materiality of a chair?

***
The link between language and mass production is iteration. Even before mechanical reproduction made it possible to stamp out hundreds of thousands of indistinguishable patio chairs, any chair was already rendered infinitely repeatable simply by the existence of the indefinite article. In this sense, language could be seen as the negation of materiality. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that language can’t also have its own materiality.

***
Does the materiality of language encode history? If so, it can’t be encoded as materiality, since any encoding is inherently an abstraction, a signification—immaterial. (Does the materiality of a chair encode history?)

***
Is there a difference between “having materiality” and “being material”? Materiality as an attribute rather than a substance. (Materiality is not itself material.)

***
What is the materiality of a chair? Is it the aspect of the chair that exists in the absence of language? Then what is the materiality of language?
