If I may use Goethe's expression, I would like to say: through sensual and supersensory observation, it has first been investigated which movement systems – I say expressly movement systems – are present in the human larynx and its neighboring organs when the outer air is set in motion through this human larynx, palate, tongue and so on, and phonetic speech is created. Here we really make the remarkable discovery that everything that is attached to the larynx as an organ of expression for speech is, in a sense, a metamorphosed repetition of the organization of the whole human being, in the sense that Goethe developed his theory of metamorphosis, which is really still not properly appreciated today, as a method of understanding the living. He said: the whole plant is basically nothing more than a complex leaf, and each leaf is an elementary whole plant. So you can say: everything that is a function of the larynx is actually a metamorphosed function of the whole human organism.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"47.

Wenn ich den Goethe’schen Ausdruck gebrauchen darf, so möchte ich sagen: Durch sinnlich-übersinnliches Schauen ist zuerst erforscht worden, welche Bewegungsanlagen - ich sage ausdrücklich Bewegungsanlagen - im menschlichen Kehlkopf und seinen Nachbarorganen vorhanden sind, wenn durch diesen menschlichen Kehlkopf, Gaumen, Zunge und so weiter, die äußere Luft in Bewegung gesetzt wird und die Lautsprache zustande kommt. Da macht man erstens wirklich die merkwürdige Entdeckung, dass alles dasjenige, was sich an den Kehlkopf als Ausdrucksorgane für die Sprache angliedert, dass das in gewissem Sinne eine metamorphosierte Wiederholung der Organisation des ganzen Menschen ist, in dem Sinne, wie Goethe seine Metamorphosenlehre, die ja wirklich heute durchaus noch nicht richtig gewürdigt ist, als eine Erkenntnismethode für das Lebendige ausgestaltet hat. Sodass er sagte: Die ganze Pflanze ist im Grunde genommen nichts anderes als ein kompliziert ausgestaltetes Blatt, und jedes Blatt ist eine elementar gestaltete ganze Pflanze. So kann man sagen: Alles dasjenige, was Funktionen des Kehlkopfes sind, sind eigentlich metamorphosierte Funktionen des ganzen menschlichen Organismus.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":182,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/277b/1920-02-08/p007"}],"english":["GA 277b/1920-02-08/p007"],"method":"identity","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":182,"en_words":186,"ratio":1.02,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 277b/1920-02-08/p007"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":2646,"original_word_count":2521,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2024","book_title":"The Origin and Development of Eurythmy 1918–1920","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA277b/English/SOL2024/19200208e01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
