Language event
Appearance
Language event(Sprachereignis)is an act or instance of written or spoken communication. In 1920s earliest use was found in Journal of Philosophy.[1] In theology this word was used by Ernest Fuchs who is leading New Hermeneutic. Ernest Fuchs' doctrine of language helped to inspire a "new quest" of the historical Jesus because it could now be said that Jesus' words and deeds constituted that "language event"(sprachereignisse) in which faith first entered into language, thereby becoming available as an existential possibility within language, the "house of being" (Heidegger).[2]
