The commodity structure shapes language itself in modern literature.

Evidence

For nowhere, perhaps, is the peculiar influence of the commodity structure greater than in that ambiguous reality which is language, and which can be consumed as a rich object just as easily as it can attempt to efface itself in that socially motivated transparency which Barthes has called “white writing.” In modern literature, indeed, the production of the sentence becomes itself a new kind of event within the work, and generates a whole new kind of form. — Fredric Jameson, Marxism and Form, 757
