MONOTEIZAM TEHNOLOGIJE I POLIFONIJA JEZIKA : O Vavilonskoj kuli digitalnih signala i žrtvovanju jezika

Abstract

The paper examines the degree of technological conditionality of language and realizes the open dissent of the analogue and digital technology. That is evident in the increasing suppression of the analogue and traditional languages, and the spread of digital, global ones. Dictionary of Technology, published in Belgrade in June 1981, pointed at the specific problem of language in the techno-secular society from the angle of technology, religion, and linguistics. After almost four decades, this handwritten document represents an important step in understanding contemporary history flows. At the time of the rise of technology, among the first, it warned about the disappearance of the analogue code and the reduction of language to digital patterns. Thus, language was sacrificed to technology.
