The First Paper on Inherent Time in Word 

TANAKA Akio

26/07/2014 10:18

In 2003 I wrote a paper which shows the inherent time in word, titled On Time Property Inherent in Characters.
In those days I frequently looked upon the reading on linguistic history of Chinese characters. Qing dynasty is like a sitting sun being lighted with classical study of Chinese Classics.

In October 2002, I contracted pneumonia and entered a hospital two weeks. At the hospital pneumonia smoothly recovered to usual health. So I thought on my study life and my main target of language at the free time. From the hospital's window the Okutama Mountains were always clearly seen. Seeing the mountains, I gradually determined that the research must be led by clear description, not by traditional style of historical language study.

But my study was mainly put on WANG Guowei's style until then. His life work, Quangtangjilin is the only book in my life. Then at the hospital bed, I confirmed that my study was mixed to clear description and traditional WANG's work.

In March 2003, I stayed at Hakuba, Nagano for tasting the passing wintry season’s landscape. At the place,  I suddenly floating up an idea of language study that word has time in it and that time and meaning are all shaped to be elements. At the result I finished the paper, On Time Property Inherent in Characters.

The days when I was thinking on Energy Distance Theory 2014

 

The days when I was thinking on Energy Distance Theory

q.v. Energy and Distance in Language / 31 August 2008

TANAKA Akio

1.
Around 2008, I was thinking on energy in language related with distance in language. Distance is one of the kernel themes of my study of language universals in those days. In simply saying, distance is the result of movement and for movement there must inevitably needs energy. So I had thought that if language have distance, there must be energy or its alike in language that is supposed in mathematical models. But in my ability in 2008, I could not develop the deep and wide range of language from the theme, energy and distance. So Energy Distance Theory was still now unfinished.

• Energy Distance Theory

1. Energy and Distance 
2. Heat and Diffusion
3. Energy and Functional
4. Finsler Manifold and Distance 
5. Word and Meaning Minimum 
6. Geometry of Word

2.
In another approach of my study on language universals, Edward Sapir's Language, 1921 was one of my favourite books between 1970s and early 1980s. In his book, the most fantastic concept for me was Drift, that indicated the vast movement of language system itself.  I ever gave brief account on it.

..........................................................................................................................................

• Edward Sapir's Language, 1921

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" is my first total proposal paper describing the natural language's model.

My language study started from the reading of Old China's Qing dynasty's huge linguistic inheritance, "Xiaoxue", in English Small Study , that is contrary to the name, the most basic and difficult study of classical texts of old China. I particularly loved the books written by WANG Guowei and WANG Yinzhi and DUAN Yucai.
The main book list to which I referred in those days between the age 20s and 40s are shown  at the next.

Especially I was enchanted with WANG Guowei's work, whose selected papers' title wasGuantangjilin. For him I wrote a short essay as below.

........................................................................................................................................

• 40 years passed from I read WANG Guowei / 16 November 2013

TANAKA Akio

Guantangjilin is the selection of works by WANG Guowei, which contents contains vast area of history, literature and linguistics. Some people say that his works is a thousand-year peak from Song era’s philosopher SHU Xi. I bought his book at Haifeng shudian, Kanda, Tokyo in my mid 20s. The date  of colophon is February 1973, publisher is Zhonghua shuju Xianggang fenju.

Probably I bought it in 1973 or 1974. In those days I frequently went Haifeng shudian bookshop for buying Chinese classics,  mainly Qing Dynasty’s linguistic works that is called ” Xiaoxue”, Small study at China. Guantangjilin is a very difficult book to understand  by my poor study result.

His study era is from Yin Dynasty to Qing Dynasty some 2,500 years of Chinese literary history. At his vast works I was especially charmed in Qing Dynasty’s ancient Chinese hieroglyphic characters, Jiaguwenzi by Chinese. After 40 years, in 2003 I wrote a small paper on language universals through this  ancient Chinese hieroglyphic characters at the view point of written language.

The title is On Time Property inherent in Characters. From at that time 10 years passed by. Now I am still learning on language universals but its style is far apart from the days 2003 or 1973. Ambiguity of approach by traditional linguistics is not for my part. I dare challenge to a new frontier of description for language study using mathematics or algebraic geometry.

Refer to the next.

After all, Energy Distance Theory ended in the half-finished situation. But now I still eager to write and develop the papers on energy and distance. The road is long and winding as ever. I always accustomed to delay and stagnate. Some rays of light is emitting in the small study room of mine.

Letter to Y. C. November 2023. Abstract

So  sorry. 
Several sentences are inaccurate from original text.
Original is Japanese.

In my case, I loved poetry, and my teacher at university taught me haiku.

However, in the end, even though I was fully aware that I was untalented, I returned to the bottom of my studies.

I'm still in the process of being uncertain.

From my language teacher Eiichi Chino

　``Don't do something so difficult.

　It's not what we do."

Although he was strongly scolded, he continued on his way.

　love mathematics,

　I love expressions in English,

For the past 20 years, that's pretty much all I've been doing.

My philosophy of expressing language through mathematics
remains unchanged.

It is said that language cannot be expressed in words.

Because it's at my core.

Twenty years ago, the physics concept of quantum

I tried to express language using

Fortunately, this essay was rare;

International symposium held in Nara

I was one of the four presenters in the language and literature department.

However, at this stage, the quantum itself is notated mathematically.

I wasn't able to do that.

However, from around 2000 , the mathematical concept of quantum groups
began to become popular, and now the physical concept of quantum has become popular.

It is now possible to express it clearly in mathematics.

This is my current stage.

Still, I don't understand anything about the language itself.

That is my current situation.
