	Adamic language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Adamic language is a term for the hypothetical proto-language believed spoken by Adam and Eve in paradise, either identical with the language used by God to address Adam, or invented by Adam as nomothete (name-giver, Genesis 2:19).
		It is unclear whether the Bible assumes that this language was preserved by Adam's descendents until the confusion of tongues (Genesis 11:1-9), or that it began to evolve naturally as a consequence of Original sin (Genesis 10:5).
		The modern concept corresponding to that of the Adamic language is that of the Proto-World language, but rather than positing divine inspiration, linguists assume that it arose from proto-linguistic forms of communication.

	Proto-World language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The concept is thus analogous to the widely accepted Proto-Indo-European language, the ancestor of all the Indo-European languages as reconstructed by historical linguistics.
		Many also question the underlying theory of monogenesis, the assumption that all known languages even do derive from a common ancestor, suggesting that language may have developed independently in different groups of early humans from proto-linguistic means of communication, thereby disputing the existence of Proto-World, or at least shifting focus to glottogonic issues.
		This debate is essentially about the definition of the term language, and about whether the system of communication employed by human beings at the time of Mitochondrial Eve qualifies as a language in the narrow sense.

		I think the first documented occurance of someone praying in the Adamic language, in the 7 volume History of the church, is Brigham Young, where the event is described in the footnote on page 297 of Volume 1 of the History of the Church, which was a prayer meeting of several brethren and Jospeh Smith.
		Language is an ancient communication technology to make someone believe, that a thing of substance, such as a tree is actually what it is. In Genesis Adam and Eve had to interprete the purposes of 2 trees in their own lives and in that of their posterity.
		This desire to ressurrect an Adamic language is not unlike the effort of King Saul of the ancient Israelites, when he sought assistance from the Witches of Endor, to stem the loss of his power from God, because he wanted to keep his political clout.

		William Labov: One of the pioneers of sociolinguistics, he documented language variation in speech communities as evidence of language changes and discovered that there are two different kinds of sound change that display different implementation patterns—one similar to the Neogrammarian model and the other similar to the model of lexical diffusion.
		Language Death: The process by which a community of speakers of one language become bilingual in another, more prestigious language, and gradually shift allegiance to the second language until they no longer use their original language.
		Languages with all their word order properties in harmony are termed consistent languages; constituency is considered to be natural.

		Language was the seam between the two estranged halves; the Romantic theory of language gave hope that they could again be joined.
		Novalis held that language was the primal act of all human creativity, and the progenitor of the self-awareness that is the condition for our knowledge of self and of the world.
		Consistent with such an outlook, rationalism held that language was the mere outward representation of thought, with words serving the utilitarian needs of communication by supplying a nomenclature for concepts that came ready-made from the mind's wordless activity.

		While we await the restoration of the Adamic tongue, English, the language that the Lord has used for the restoration of the gospel and his new scriptures, is already becoming a universal world language.

		But there is more to the story: Polyphemus' "backwardness" in language is read as ambiguous -- like his diet and lawlessness -- at once primitive and golden-age, and so Gera divines from his poignant address to his ram the trace of an idea that once upon a time men and animals could communicate (15-16).
		language before Mekone was a divine Adamic one with names reflecting reality" (47); this speculation engenders a further one: if Mekone cut us off from divine speech as well as from divine society, the voicebox installed in Pandora may signify the invention of a human (and, alas, deceptive) language (56).
		Finally, she explores the idea that language was "constructed" (the building metaphor seems significant) by a social collective, working back from Diodorus and Vitruvius to Democritus via Epicurus, and taking up the thesis vs. phusis debate along the way.

		The idea of UL is derived from Jacob Böhme's vision of the one Adamic Language (AL) that all of humanity was supposed to have spoken before the babylonian dispersion.
		By modern natural scientific standards, the idea of an Adamic Language that was common to all mankind before the days of the Tower of Babel is just another biblical myth that has folklore value at best and is better left to the fundamentalists and new-born christians.

		Language, or at least the Adamic language, is not a product of use, a human social construct, in Paracelsus's view.
		Returning for a moment to Ashworth, the parallelism and, indeed, the intimate relationship between language theory and natural history, together with their mutual legitimation through the work done in recasting cultural narratives, must not be forgotten in attempts to explain shifting models for the practice of natural history.
		And yet, as was also the case in the study of language, this sheer diversity—the sheer weight of things and facts—was not of itself enough to transform the discourse of natural history.

	The Logic of Leibniz, Chapter 3
		Such a language would be at the same time a sort of logical instrument; however, its establishment "depends on the true philosophy," and that is one of the reasons Descartes believed it to be unrealizable in practice.
		The analysis of language consists of resolving all the elements of speech into simpler terms by means of definitions; when these terms can be decomposed no further, one explains them, indicating their sense by means of equivalent terms.
		Thus, when in 1680 Leibniz planned to present a fragment of his philosophical language by applying it to geometry, he announced that he would employ the inflections, particles, and constructions of Latin and would be content to invent new names to express the generation of figures and hence their construction or definition.

	Campbell Corner - Poetry, Myth, and Philosophy
		It might be that poems are the thoughts in the head that are written - that would explain why poets are commonly perceived as special knowers, endowed with a special insight into consciousness that others have lost, left behind in their childhood, in their pre-linguistic life perhaps.
		Poetic language at best is transparent; at the place that Wittgenstein famously identified as inaccessible to meaningful language, and that seventeenth-century natural philosophers had believed was the realm of post-lapsarian man. Pre-Adamic language is in the head - or so it would seem, if one is to believe the four-year old boy.
		Language can describe precisely; but philosophical, and for that matter scientific language is quite different from literary language.

	The Formative Hyperlanguage of the Hebrew Alphabet of Creation
		Hyperlanguages transcend human languages in the same manner which human languages transcend the protolanguages of chimpanzees.
		This quest can (somewhat arbitrarily, ANM:ADAM[107]) be originated with Jacob Böhme (1575-1624) who had called for the re-discovery of the Adamic Language (or AL), the original language humans were supposed to have spoken before the events that were expressed in the biblical myth of the building of the Tower of Babel.
		This is a system in which the semantic level of language has been completely marginalized, viewed as a secondary, relatively insignificant use of a universal scientific set of laws.

	mimesis.html
		The linguistic aspect of language is manifested through mimetic expression which itself is repressed in the medium of language insofar as this repression of mimesis is expressed by the language, which has "disgraced" itself by falling into the "pitfalls" of exchange language that determines the separation of subject and object.
		The linguistic is a medium-in-itself; language is a medium-for-another.
		In that sense the mimetic language, the non-communicative aspect of the language, is no longer expressed in the language of nature, whose "speechlessness" indicates the cause of its own suffering, but is being now expressed as a language that transforms the language of suffering into a language of expression.

		No language can remain pure and undefiled for that long, but according to the record the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech (Gen 11:1).
