Abstract：Based on the analysis of the basic values of posthumanism and how it is related to postmodern literature, the present paper tries to interpret the thoughts of language embodied in the Noble Prize lecture and two novels by Toni Morrison, a famous Afro-American postmodern novelist, in posthumanist perspective.Morrison's criticism of verbal violence and male chauvinist, racial and monotheistic religious language, her meditation on the nature of language and her creative employment of the power of language, reflects her posthumanist meditation on language.
