罗兰·巴特在《语言的躁动》中提出“没有语言就没有现实”。的确,在人类整个文明进程中,语言一直附着于人类的生活中,与人类息息相关。《圣经》中有一则巴比伦塔的故事:挪亚的子孙企图建立一座通天塔。他们操持同一种语言,工作齐心协力、彼此呼应。这样人类的力量很快僭越了上帝的威胁。于是耶和华改变了他们相同的语言,使之无法互相配合。耶和华的存在是虚无缥缈的幻事,但“巴比伦塔”的故事却暗示了人类生存中语言的魔力。
Roland Barthes in his “restlessness of language” put forward that “there is no language without reality.” Indeed, in the process of human civilization as a whole, language has been attached to human life and is closely related to mankind. There is a Babylonian story in the Bible: the descendants of Noah attempted to establish a Babel. They operate in the same language and work together to echo each other. In this way, the power of man quickly overstepped the threat of God. So Jehovah changed their language so that they could not cooperate with each other. The existence of the Lord is an illusion of nothingness, but the story of the Tower of Babylon implies the magic of the language of human existence.
