Letter to Sebastian on Edward Sapir

Dear Sebastian,

The relation between language and time is at first given to me from Edward Sapir’s Language 1921.
Sapir’s concept drift is still very important for me.
For more details, refer to the following paper.

 

Edward Sapir, Language, 1921  Revised
 

Edward Sapir’s Language, 1921 showed me the dynamism of language proposing the concept, drift.

Drift shows us the macro phase of natural language and I was hinted by Sapir’s this concept and proposed the micro phase of natural language. The paper ”Quantum Theory for Language” 2003 is my first total proposal paper describing the natural language’s model.

Edward Sapir’s LANGUAGE AN INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF SPEECH 1921 gave me a moment for study in 1980s while I was roaming about the darkness of not- getting any aim to study on language. I ever wrote a short paper being influenced in 2005 and after also wrote a memo on his book in 2014.

Substantiality / 2005
Edward Sapir, Language, 1921 / 2014

A moment came from his famous concept drift. At the near-end Chapter 7 Sapir wrote “the three major drifts“, that were the next .“The drift toward the abolition of most case distinctions“
“the correlative drift toward position as an accompanied“
“the drift toward the invariable word“
This “the three major drifts” are all apparently seen in Chinese, especially in the classical written language. At my age 20s and 30s I continuously had read Qing dynasty’s classical linguistic books and papers. WANG Guowei, ZHANG Binglin, DUAN Yucai, WANG Yinzhi were the most reliable works for me.
