Letter to Sebastian

Dear Sebastian,

Thanks a lot for your likes to my blogging.

I think that my papers and essays are of very narrow fields and themes, so I feel pleasant for your likes many times.

From last year Autumn to April this year, I kept on writing Essay on a researcher of French literature who died at 37 in 1976. I learnt French from him at university.

The days are 1970s and we were all young and eager to study towards future.

But everybody was in the confusion at those days after disturbance at universities.

I am also in the same situation.

I hoped to study linguistics but never found its way adequate to me . I only learnt several languages, Chinese, Korean, Russian, French and so forth.

At last my object and its way to learn were found in the end of the 20th century.

It was really a long and winding road as the Beatles sang at those days.

All were dear for me, all were thankful to the pioneers of language and mathematics.

Yours sincerely,

T.A.

PS

One of pioneers of language is CHINO Eiichi 1932-2002, who studied Czech language at Czech and became authority on Old Slavic language. I learnt Russian language and the Linguistic Circle of Prague from him.

I ever wrote several essays on his memory.
