AB Is it patriarchal to talk about Got as a Father? New elements for an answer to this question are provided by the research of a french medical doctor and philologist: Alfred Tomatis. Already before birth (from about the fourth or fifth month) the fetus can hear the voice of its mother and the speedely developing brain will be marked by that. The influence of the mother will therefore be rather dominant in the future language (compare also the expression "mother-tongue"). In view of this a unilateral talk about God as "Father" should not be estimated on a patriarchal alienation, but rather a corrective antipole to the dominance of the motherly element in language itself.
