Language, subject position, and meaning
 

Delany 175: "From my learning experiences in my culture, I have many words and associated meanings in my brain. You have many words and associated meanings in your brain. Because we have lived and experienced similar discourses, many of those meanings are the same or highly similar. Because we have lived in many different discourses, and because we have experienced the discoures we have from different positions within them, many of these meanings, at all levels, are different."
