The Neutrality Of Language (Or Not)
Recently I was invited to do a "box" on the neutrality (or not) of language. We all know that language may be used for hate speech on the one hand, or for love songs on the other -- that is, language is assumed to be a neutral medium. But could it be that language is inherently good or bad? OBSERVATION: My recent writing has received much attention -- and I think that I was on form when I wrote a (tentative) box this morning. The subject has obvious application to theology. If language should be inherently bad, then this would be suggestive of original sin.
