You will remember I explained to you the difference it makes to man whether the words he speaks are formed in such a way as to refer only to material things, in which case speech assumes a materialistic character, or whether in his speaking he unfolds a certain idealism, so that every time he utters a word, the feeling is present in him that he belongs to a spiritual world and that the words that ring in his speaking, coming as they do from the soul, must have some relation to Spirits. According as the one or the other is true, so does man come, between falling asleep and awakening, into a wrong or right relation with the Archangels. If he allows idealism to disappear altogether from his speaking, then he gradually loses the connection, which is so essential to him, with the Archangels. I am reminding you of this, because I want to speak to-day more particularly of one aspect of this relationship of human speech with the hierarchy of the Archangels. Speech, like everything else in evolution that has to do with man, as we have had full opportunity of realising in our study of his being, has had its history. What I want to bring forward does not refer to any one language in particular. The periods of time we have to take into view when we are studying some deep-seated change in speech are so long that even primitive languages show the same character as civilised ones in respect of such matters as we shall be considering. To-day therefore we shall not concern ourselves with the differences that exist between the several languages, but rather with those metamorphoses which human language in general has undergone in the course of the evolution of mankind on Earth.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"The Recovery of the Living Source of Speech","site_heading":null,"date":"1923-04-13","location":null,"word_count":353,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/en/ga/224/1923-04-13/p002","alignment_confidence":"high","alignment_reason":"beads:length","two_voice_volume":false,"translation_credit":{"scope":"unit","status":"not_established","translator":null,"identified_edition":"Singles","book_title":null,"publisher":null,"publisher_inferred":false,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA224/English/Singles/19230413p01.html","evidence":null,"reason":"no_translator_named","note":"Neither the lecture's own page nor rsarchive's lecture list names a translator for it.

Erinnern Sie sich, wie ich in einer der vorangehenden Betrachtungen ausgeführt habe, welche Bedeutung es für den Menschen hat, wenn er die Worte seiner Sprache so gestaltet, daß diese Worte nur zu rein materiellen Dingen Beziehung haben, daß also die Sprache gewissermaßen einen materialistischen Charakter annimmt, oder wenn er die Sprache so gestaltet, daß er im Sprechen einen gewissen Idealismus entwickelt, daß schon die Sprache ihn bei jedem Aussprechen eines Wortes empfinden läßt: er gehört einer geistigen Welt an, und was als Worte seiner Seele in seiner Sprache erklingt, das muß, weil es eben aus der Menschenseele kommt, irgendwelche Beziehung haben zu Geistern. Je nachdem das eine oder das andere der Fall ist, sagte ich Ihnen, kommt der Mensch zwischen dem Einschlafen und Aufwachen in die rechte oder unrechte Beziehung zu den Erzengelwesen, zu den Wesen, die wir als Archangeloi bezeichnen. Der Mensch verliert immer: mehr und mehr seinen notwendigen Zusammenhang mit diesen Archangeloi, wenn er den Idealismus aus seiner Sprache verschwinden läßt.
