Coffee shop named California

Coffee shop named California

TANAKA Akio

From Print 2012, Chapter 10

If C live, he also may ask me, "What  are you researching now?"

And I also will answer him as same as ever. 

I have pursued universals, never done facts, without repenting.  

Oh C, if you live, will we also talk on language at the table facing each other

under the low ceiling of the shop, going up the steep stairs. 

The name of the shop is California.

For the memory of our daily forgetful life, its never miserable though poor all over,

I will write down our delight.

Sergej Karcevskij1 determined my life. I have pursued his back evermore.2
He has given me the most radical questions3 on language.
Note for KARCEVSKIJ Sergej's "Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique"4 is a paper dedicated to him recently.

History of SRFL

• SRFL is the abbreviation of Sekinan Research Field of Languagewhich was foiunded in 2003 at Hakuba, Nagano, Japan. In 2004 Its base moved to Tokyo for more deepening the research activity. In these days the writing style of papers was greatly influenced by Luvig Wittgenstein's TRACTATUS LOGICO-PHILOSOPHCUS 1922 and the motif of study was originated from Edward Sapir's Language An Introduction to the Study of Speech 1921.

• SRFL started originally as a study library named Sekinan Library at Tachikawa, Tokyo in 1986 .From that time on,  several sites have been made  for the various research activity, In learning days of 1970s, Kurt Godel and Nicolas Bourbaki were strong admiration of keeping the study. 

• In 1980s, the heart of activity was study of Chinese ancient hieroglph influenced by the Qing Dynasty's scholar WANG Guowei. But last time of 80s, research turned to the basic factors of language, gradually putting language universals in shape.
   
• In 1990s, Great turn came to th study. Linguistic Circle of Prague in 1920s and its member Sergej Karcevskij definitely opened the direction for the vast and ambiguous approach to the study of language universals. All the hints were given from CHINO Eiichi who had studied on the Slavs at Carrel University between 1958 and 1967. I first met him at his Russian class in 1969. He was 37 and I was 21.
   
• Since 2000s language universals has became the core theme of study using and arranging the contemporary results of mathematics, espetially algebraic geometry that sufficiently reflects the intuitive and concrete images of thinking on complexed language's phenomena. In 2008 Zoho site sekinanlogos was started up for mathematical expression. 

• In 2015, Sekinan Tokyo has started as the portal site of Sekinan's some 30 year activity. SRFL Note is also active for the working site of Sekinan Tokyo.

I need not more wander the bookshop streets with Note 2

I need not more wander the bookshop streets

I need not more wander the bookshop streets. The object exists in my mind. I would better watch the canal. Wandering is over now.  Perhaps I would not become meister  forever. In my narrow working place, I 'd better do my work till sunset. So out of the window by the working place,  the saint passes by. I ever read the Russian folk tale like that.
The Autumn evening is fast. The headlight of streetcar  is dazzling. In the yellow-lighten window the passengers are picked out by the light. The car disappeared  to the book streets. The station shop is also lighted up by the yard's busy orange light.

[Note /  1 October 2014]
"I need not more wander the book shop streets." From Tale, Print, 2012. This tale was written by TANAKA Akio, pen-named LI Kohr in autumn 2012 for remembering the poor but brilliant youth time of myself. This is one of my favourite phrases in this tale.The book shop streets described in the tale is Kanda, Tokyo, which is located in the central Tokyo, where I frequently walked seeking the old Chinese classic books for the study from Oriental way of linguistics. In late 1960s, the street-cars were surely running in the old fashioned streets of Kanda, now perfectly changed to the subway streets.

[Note 2 / 6 January 2016]
Kanda, Tokyo is probably one of the largest old book shop streets in the world. I love this streets and town since my youth age twenties.
In IKEDA Kiyoshi's famous book, Free and Rule, he wrote that he discovered the very book which was his British friend's favourite signed book, he already dead, at one old book shop in Kanda, over seas and beyond times. With the friend IKEDA spent their dear public school days before the Second World War.  The book is at last met with its most desirable person, if the person never resigns himself.

From Distance to Pseudo-Kobayashi Distance

From Distance to Pseudo-Kobayashi Distance

TANAKA Akio

In 2004 I wrote the paper titled "Distance Theory"
The paper handled the structure of sentence, using the classic written Chinese for its simplicity of form that has not any transformation at word.
In Chinese, word namely character does not change anymore. Nevertheless grammatical functions strictly exist by its sequence of characters.

I had been very interesting the style of language that never appears in the European languages. But the study for it was too hard to pursue at my age 20s and 30s by my talent.

In 1979, I met CHINO Eiichi again at the university to where I returned from the work of teaching at senior high school. He taught me the importance of the Linguistic Circle of Prague.

We talked with many problems of language study at the campus or coffee shop near the station we usually got on and off . The shop were old and steps were always sounded rattling. The light of the shop were dim and yellowed with age.

We were both young, he was late 40s and I was early 30s.
Before these days we already met at the Russian class. The time was 1969, he taught us the language in the tiny classroom. Then he was just after, coming back from the long study at Czechoslovakia.

From 1979, he had actively introduced the Linguistic Circle of Prague while studying his own subjects. It was a really happy time for me. He told us at the class of linguistics and told me more frankly at the coffee shop on the various themes related with language .Prague was always at the center in the conversation.

I gradually went on to the narrow theme concerned with language universals.  What decisively entered to my mind was Sergej Karcevskij. If there only be Saussure, I could not determined so smoothly.

In my age 30s, 1980s, I had been wandering to and fro at Kanda, the centric part Tokyo, where I encountered many Chinese classics at the Chinese book shops. From my familiar language I wanted to research the study on the subject. But  there were no clear road to going ahead.  I had hoped concise and clear description on the theme, if I wish, using mathematics.

In 1960s, in my front, Bourbaki emerged the huge target that was built by the vast from-set-theory-to-topology. At the time's going my level was very low and primitive. I was never able to use such a difficult mathematics.

I spent the lag time in 1970s. reading Chinese classic books at random. The main was Qing dynasty's Xiaoxue (Small study) on Chinese characters classical research.

In 1990s, the target of language study decided to language universals, being led by Sergej Karcevskij for that almost all the information were given from CHINO.

At that time mathematics were going on and on to the wide and deep fields covering the humanities, e.g. category, sheaf and discreteness.

In March 2003 I stayed some days at Hakuba, Nagano, where I wrote the proto-paper on language model for the first time, titled " On Time Property Inherent in Characters". It treated the unchanging language, Chinese, as the typical one for its simplicity and familiarity in my life.

The paper's main theme was time that is hypothetically  inherent in each character in Chinese. The basis of the theory was in the study of WANG Guowei's ancient Chinese inscriptions on bone and tortoiseshell.

In order to possess grammar in unchanging language, there should be the another functions to express grammar or near -grammar. I selected inherent time in each character supposedly.

In August 2003, I also stayed at Hakuba, where I wrote "Quantum Theory for Language". It was the enlarged paper of the March's one. There intuitive long-short times were supposed. There was any description of mathematics. But important points were presented, I thought. The problem was how precisely go the theory using mathematics.

In 2004 I wrote "Distance Theory" from the viewpoint of clear concept using distance instead of time that was not able to mention enough descriptively.

But the theory was also intuitive and philosophical one. I never satisfied the expression.  The theory's essentials were distance and connection, that is to say, words connect according by the distance inherent in words.

Succeeding this theory, I tried to write many fields on language making the efficient models for natural language, namely language universals in my mind, being led by Karcevskij.

Hereafter the main target was the mathematical description for many varieties that were almost intuitively remained or noted.

Now I use algebraic or arithmetic one for their strict simplicity and beauty. Recently I wrote in distance from pseudo-Kobayashi-distance that was very fantastic and widely perspective views for me. The paper's title is "Connection of Words", that is my long winding road from encountering CHINO and Linguistic Circle of Prague.

Grateful thanks to CHINO Eiichi. You wrote "Linguistics of the 21th Century" in  1998,  four years before your death, that there are studies undergoing to be able to understand meaning by combination of several elements. Still now I am your student and probably forever.
