Language and I

Language and I


Sekinan Library has researched on language from 1986 and successively at SRFL from 2003.
Papers and essays that have been  written at Sekinan Library and SRFL Sekinan Research Field of Language 
are shown and searched at SRFL Essay and SRFL Paper.
Sekinan Library's main theme is now at language universals that has been a hard target and researched since 1920s at Linguistic Circle of Prague, but the theme had been always put aside from the centre of the study.
In Japan. on Prague School CHINO Eiichi probably first introduced systematically through his direct study experience at Prague between 1958 and 1964.

I first met with him in 1969 at Tokyo, from whom received Russian language lesson at the beginner's small class.
And after some 10 years I again met him in 1979 at his lecture on structural linguistics, to which I listen till till March 1986 when I get apart from the university.

In 1986 I also started to study my own object on language, in  which the main theme  was language universals by mathematical description, surging from Nicolas Bourbaki, that were already applied to wide and deep approach even at human studies at that time.

For me algebraic geometry was the great aid to deepen the theme, to which from 1920s many researchers have recognised one of the most important but hard to operate with clear description at the field of philology.

In 2003 I narrowly wrote up the trial paper on language's characters, at that time not for total language, but I got the steady way to approach the hard target of language's basis mainly on meaning, through which I faintly could see the final target, language universals.

Story To Winter by RI Kor, 2015

To Winter by RI Kor, 2015
Youth days of a student enthralled by language

冬へ
                                                 里行

背の高い建物群が青緑色に見える。都市線の高架の下を南北に広い道路が走り、そこをゆっくりと路面電車が進んで行く。駅を降り
て歩道をすこし南に行くと、Aの住まいに着く。一階はブリキ屋で外付けの階段を上った二階に住んでいる。物置のように使われてい
たところを住まいにかえただけの殺風景な部屋だが、窓が道路に面した東と、駅の方の北に取ってあって明るい。
彼が初めてこの駅で降りたとき、曇り空の下にくすんだ高い建物が背景となった風景になんとなく惹かれて、歩き始めてすぐに目に
ついた貸家の張り紙のままに、「トタン・ブリキ製造」と看板があるガラス戸を開けて、その場で部屋を借りることにした。
駅からここまで来る途中の路面電車の中継基地とでも言うのか、そこから道路に向かって電車が出て行く光景が今も初めて見たとき
のように好きだ。線路は赤く錆びていて、車輪の当たるところだけが、銀色に光っている。電車はいつも道路に向かってカーブしてい
くときにギシギシときしんだ音を立てた。
