“…The Sophist philosophers, contemporaries with Socrates and Plato, were the first to suggest the folly of this hope in language as the perfect transmitter of anything (Mourelatos, 1987). Plato records the relativism of Gorgias, a Sophist who claimed that even if there were such a thing as truth, it would be impossible to communicate it (Gilbert, 2003). We wrestle with an open question, even today, when we ask about the dynamics of language and communication.…”

Eastern Nazarene CollegeThe work of Emmanuel Levinas presents a unique challenge to psychotherapy, particularly by revisiting the phenomenon of language in such a way that all human speech is already loaded with obligation to one's neighbor. This article reflects on the nature of language in Levinas's later works, with particular regard to the kinds of speech important to psychotherapy. First by exploring the hermeneutic tradition and its approach to language and understanding, the author points to Levinas's claim that hermeneutics will not suffice to articulate responsibility to the neighbor. Speech is already, for Levinas, weighted with a primordial debt to the other. As such, the author suggests that language be considered in another register, at a level already familiar with infinite debt and obligation: prayer and liturgy. Such a suggestion is not primarily theological in nature, but relational. Ultimately pointing to a way of thinking about language in therapy that surpasses hermeneutics in the interest of a faithful response to the suffering of the other.

Résumé Après la tentative non aboutie d’Eugène Boré (1816–1891) en 1839, la première grammaire française à l’usage des Persans ne paraît qu’en 1882 sous le titre d’Orthographie française ou Règles de l’orthographe de la langue française simplifiée et rendues à leurs principes naturels. L’auteur, Jules Richard (1816–1891), n’y développe que la partie consacrée aux articulations et aux parties du discours et ne parvient jamais à publier l’intégralité de l’ouvrage qu’il avait rédigé à l’attention des élèves de l’école polytechnique de Téhéran et qui est censé contenir une partie propre à la syntaxe. Son fils Joseph Richard (1285 [1868/69] – 1354 [1935/36]) tentera de rectifier le tir en publiant la Nouvelle méthode pratique et facile pour apprendre la langue française (21894), une sorte de ‘méthode Ahn’ où la grammaire ne figure qu’en abrégé sous forme de définitions ou d’applications. L’Orthographie se caractérise spécialement par le nombre des questions théoriques discutées en notes entièrement rédigées en français, par le recours à des termes grammaticaux peu communs, par la traduction originale, en persan, de certains termes français, ainsi que par la neutralisation de certaines oppositions verbales dans la traduction des paradigmes du français.
