《圣经·旧约·创世记》第11章中记载,从洪水中幸存的诺亚的子孙后代,惟恐上帝再次发大水淹没他们,就像毁灭他们的祖先那样,因而团结起来建立了一座通天之塔(又名巴别塔),塔顶通天,以至于人类在洪水到来的时候不至于散落在地面上遭受毁灭。上帝看到人类建造的通天塔,心生畏惧,决定阻止人类建造通天塔的计划。于是,上帝让人类说不同的语言,使人类相互之间不能沟通。自此,人类各散东西,建造通天塔的计划被摧毁了。这个故事告诉我们,语言不同,就不能进行正常的社会交流,也就不能完成人类社会性这一属性。其实,上帝并非是改变了人类的语言,而是充分发挥了语言符号这一属性。
In the 11th Book of the Bible, Old Testament Genesis, the descendants of Noah, who survived the floods, fear that God once again sent floodwaters to submerge them, just as the destruction of their ancestors did, thus establishing a united Tower of Babel (aka Tower of Babel), the towering sky, so that human beings will not be scattered on the ground when the flood comes to destruction. God saw the human-built Babel tower, fearful, decided to stop mankind building Babel plan. Thus, God allows human beings to speak different languages so that human beings can not communicate with each other. Since then, the plans for building the Babel have been destroyed by all human beings. This story tells us that language can not be the normal social exchange, it can not complete the social nature of humanity this attribute. In fact, God did not change the human language, but give full play to the linguistic sign of this attribute.
