Non-symmetry, 1920s' Prague and Sergej Karcevskij's "Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique"

From Print 2012, Chapter 18

非対称性。Non-symmetry. それはかつてＣと繰り返し話した内容だ。It was the very theme that I repeatedly talked on with C.１９２０年代のプラハ。Prague in 1920s. 雑誌TCLPに載ったカルツェフスキイの論文、「言語記号の非対称的二重性」。Karcevskij's paper "Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique" that appeared in the magazine TCLP. 言語が保持し続けるところの、それによって言語が言語であり続けるところの、絶対的に矛盾する柔構造と硬構造の共存。Absolutely contradicted coexistence between flexibility and solidity, which language keeps on maintaining, by which language continues existing as language. 言語において二重に内在し続けるだろう永遠の矛盾。Still now there will exist the everlasting dual contradiction in language.言語がかくも柔軟でかくも堅固でいられるのはなぜか。Why can language stay in such solid and such flexible condition like that. そのほとんど絶対的に矛盾するかともおもわれる二重性をカルツェフスキイは提示した。Karcevskij proposed the duality that is seemed to be almost absolute contradiction. Ｃがその最後の本の中でただ一人天才と称した言語学者、セルゲイ・カルツェフスキイが残した白眉の論考。Sergej Karcevskij's best of papers, for whom C called as the only genius in his last book.
