Abstract

The work with the title „Looking for creation language or the obsession of the Babel Tower ” proposses
to treat the idea of the perfect language as an act of communication because the language is an extremelly
necessary analogic code for the act of communication.Taking into consideration this perspective, we consider
interesting the works of the two cultural personalities: Ioan Petru Culianu’s „The Creation Language ” and
Umberto Eco’s „Looking for the Perfection of Language in European Culture ”.The two authors discurs about
the concept of creation language even if the first one creates a story which plot is among and around the
original language and undelines the existence of creation language inside a misterious box and the second one
discusses the theme from the linguistic point of view and considers that the perfect language is the original one it
is the one given to Adam by Good, the one which must be regained.
More and more than this, from the European Integration perspective, we can aim to this ideal ilustrated
by the „perfection of language ” sentence without affecting the national boundaries which every nationality has.
The creation language could become a kind of connection even if only at the utopia level.
