Sekinan Study, study site of Sekinan Library

Sekinan Study is the study site of Sekinan Library which was founded in 1986 at Tachikawa, Tokyo.

Sekinan Library at first aimed to study ideogram's relationship between figure and meaning mainly using Chinese characters. But the study gradually declined to the essences of meaning in language itself. In 1990s the library began to study language universals influenced by Edward Sapir, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Bernhard Karlgren and always WANG Guowei and Sergej Karcevskij.

From 2003 the library newly established SRFL Sekinan Research Field of Language at Hakuba, Nagano for the further study of language universals led by The Linguistic Circle of Prague in 1920s being taught from CHINO Eiichi using geometrical description. The outline of study is now shown at the sites, Sekinan Library and SRFL.

From 2008 several Zoho sites were set up one by one for applying the mathematical description. The papers on the site are shown at Zoho Paper Group and Zoho Wiki Index.

Now being owed by pioneers, Sekinan Study inherits the results of Sekinan Library and SRFL and specializes the study through algebraic method to one more clearer description of language universals. Daily activity is shown at Blogger sites, SRFL News and Sekinan Table.
