What CHINO Eiichi Taught Me in the Class of Linguistics
TANAKA Akio
CHINO taught me the core of linguistics in the class of structural linguistics.
The most remarkable thing is what he explained the paper of KARCEVSKIJ to us.
The title is "Du dualisme asymétrique du signe linguistique". It became a miracle of my life.
I summarize the essence of the paper from one of CHINO's most major book,Gengogaku eno hirakareta tobira, Janua linguarum reserata in Latin. Language has the dualism.
One is firm structure. The other is flexible variability.
This is a very revelation in the roaming of study.
At first I selected the firmness of language for my research target.
It overlapped with the research of Chinese characters.
Thought of KARCEVSKIJ fructified the quantum of language.
The theory I reached is Quantum Theory for Language.
The starting point of the theory was given from CHINO.
I deeply appreciate him for teaching me almost all the things on language.
CHINO Eiich died March 19, 2002.
At age 70.

The days between von Neumann Algebra and Complex Manifold Deformation Theory
vide: Applied papers with this essay are reprinted at SRFL News' January 2015 blogs.
TANAKA Akio
von Neumann Algebra was written from 3 April 2008 to 2 May 2008. And Complex Manifold Deformation Theory was written from 30 November 2008 to 9 January 2009. In the days between the two theories I wrote the following 4 paper groups.
Functional Analysis
Reversion Analysis Theory
Holomorphic Meaning Theory
Stochastic Meaning Theory
These days were the preparatory time for regularised writing by algebraic geometry at Zoho site. But they were relatively precious days for thinking about the reshuffling mathematics and physics related with language. Especially Stochastic Meaning Theory was a milestone for mathematical approaching to physical phenomenon of language.Stochastic Meaning Theory's titles are the next.

Period of Meaning 2
Place of Meaning
Energy of Language
Language as Brown Motion
On the other hand, I really realised that mathematical writing of natural phenomenon, for example natural language, inevitably needed clear routes by mathematics that was represented by function analysis approach. Functional Analysis and Reversion Analysis Theory were the trial papers aiming for new ground, especially the comparison of finiteness and infinity in generation of words and sentences.

But at that time I could not decide the main field of mathematics for applying to language study. Moreover I never thought about language models parting from natural language and constructing the new field for thinking about language universals. After these preparation of algebra that was started from Premise of Algebraic Linguistics 1 -1 at 11 September 2007, I barely reached to the entrance of algebraic geometry's use for language and making the language models. It was Complex Manifold Deformation Theory which began to write at 30 November 2008 titling Distance of Word, one of my main themes for language universals from the very starting of language study. Thus my study first focused to making language models of algebraic geometry using complex manifold.

1.
My study's turning point from intuitive essay to mathematical writing was at the days of learning von Neumann Algebra, that was written by four parts from von Neumann Algebra 1 to von Neumann Algebra 4. The days are about between 2006 and 2008, when I was thinking about switching over from intuitive to algebraic writing. The remarkable results of writing these papers were what the relation between infinity and finiteness in language was first able to clearly describe. Two papers of von Neumann 2. Property Infinite and Purely Infinite, were the trial to the hard theme of infinity in language.The contents' titles are the following.

After writing von Neumann Algebra 1 - 4, I successively wrote the next.
Functional Analysis
Reversion Analysis Theory
Holomorphic Meaning Theory
Stochastic Meaning Theory
Especially Stochastic Meaning Theory clearly showed me the relationship between mathematics and physics, for example Brownian motion in language. After this theory I really entered the algebraic geometrical writing by Complex manifold deformation Theory. The papers are shown at Zoho site's sekinanlogos.

The learning from von Neumann Algebra 1 ended for a while at Floer Homology Language, where I first got trial papers on language's quantisation or discreteness. The next step was a little apart from von Neumann algebra or one more development of algebra viz. arithmetic geometry.

TANAKA Akio THE SOUND SHAPE OF LANGUAGE by Roman Jakobson & Linda Waugh, 1979 is one of put-aside-desk book for the study. The authors wrote the Preface to The Japanese Edition, 1980 that the primary concern was the basic opposition between form and meaning, furthermore there were definite difference and intimate bonding between these two essential phenomena.
For turning to myself, I had already determined the main target on meaning, and sound had been put aside, while Jakobson's book was still referred time to time. It was a great teacher for me, and probably from now on.

Dialogue 1
On Structure
For HORI Tatsuo, Footprints on the snow, 1946Why do you think that language has structure?
_We have true-false problem since Greece had logic on language, Crete man tells himself a liar. The situation suggests that if language has structure and we see the structure's whole, there is no more problem in the upper funny but radical story.
Do you mention that language has dimensions in it for preventing the confusion?
_Surely dimension is an important factor of structure. But language is a vast building in which all the logisc and all the feelings are expressible for all the hope of human beings.
Then how the structure is built, do you imagine?
_I ever learned the history of Linguistic Circle of Prague, in which the most important hypothesis is said that language has function. Function is inevitably occurred following after the completion of structure, I think.
Do you say that from the observation of language function is adequately acceptable for structure's surface?
_Yes, I think so.
Then on inner structure of language, what do you think?
_At first, language has meaning. But it was put aside by Prague Linguistic Circle as the hardest problem on language for its ambiguity as MATHESIUS V. gave the famous lecture, Latency of language phenomena, 1911. I attracted the theme, language has ambiguity.
Did you go to Prague?
_No. I only heard on PLC from CHINO Eiichi. He learned linguistics at Prague, from 1958 to 1967. He gave me the basis of linguistics after his returning to Tokyo. I first met him at Tokyo 1969. I learned Russian at that time in the small class. He was young at 37, and I also young too at 21.
You really respect CHINO.
_I remember him respectfully, but more frequently merrily, for his fantastic conversation to the younger beginner, studying language from various fields, from art to classical languages at the university.
On language, ambiguity is important?
_Undoubtedly. CHINO gave me the concept of asymmetric dualism of linguistic sign. The paper was written by KARCEVSKIJ Sergej at 1929. Precisely to say, "Du dualisme asymétrique du signe linguistique", Travaux du Cercle Linguistique de Prague 1.
From ambiguity to structure, through what course did you choose?
_I took the road from the minimum unit of meaning that was extracted by WANG Guowei's GUANTANG JILIN, the book was real youth of my life, for which I named <meaning minimum> by reference of JAKOBSON Roman's concept <semantic minimum>. I dearly remember CHINO's warm advice "not to enter such a theme that are firstly treated by WITTGENSTEIN-like person. We are not invited", backing to the railway station from the university, after his lecture on linguistics at early summer twilight.
<Meaning minimum> is your starting point, I recognized. After that, To where did you go?
_At first, from set theory. I ever learned it mainly from TAKEUCHI Gaishi's papers. Now I yet like his approch to the mathematical object. And I, at that time, also came under the influence of LÉVI-STRAUSS Claude.
That course was productive to you?
_It is a difficult question. For first step of my study, partly yes and mostly no.
Mostly no, for what?
_For me the most important is the relation between <meaning minimum>s. But set theory is not efficient for that direction.
Is relation important?
_Perhaps yes.
Why?
_Back to MATHESIUS's <latency> or KARCEVSKIJ's <asymmetric duality>, there exists relationship between one meaning and another meaning. For me, this relationship is not able to be handled by my set theory's level. But set theory is enough charming for its elemental simplicity.
And where did you go to the next?
_Geometry. It is the most natural and fantastic approach by its freely intuitive methods.
Intuition is surely familiar. But selection is only done by such reason?
_I have not any other choices at considering my mathematical level then.
Geometry was respondent to your hope?
_Yes, absolutely yes. As people say that geometry is a heimat of mathematics, I really think so.
Geometry is more easily way to approach for you?
_Repeatedly say, I have not any choices at that time. Meeting with geometry, I often wrote various figures containing topological ones, for instance at on the train to the town in which mother is under medical care.
Such drawings can express language's validity?
_Much interesting to express but the themes containing validity of language and so forth are very hard to access.
Why?
_Relationship among language inside is far away beyond my amateurishly imaginary figures.
And after that?
_I came here, at my present mathematical situation as PENROSE Roger said in his book THE ROAD TO REALITY, that mathematics is the most highly investigated way for the study of universe. His confidence to mathematics is put up on my home page of Sekinan Research Field of Language.
Where do you stand now?
_Symplectic geometry.
Why do you stand there?
_Also natural for me. And freely thinkable.
Freely thinkable, what imagine by that?
_Mathematics is radically free. Just like a wind at high lands, far-sighted and transparent.
Mmm. Transparent.
_Yes,perfectly transparent. In contrast with language. Language is always having ambiguity.
Ambiguous language and transparent mathematics.
_That's all.
Many thanks today.
_It's my pleasure.Tokyo

Language is variable. If it be true, what is the base of variability?
2.
Language is pronounceable. If it be true, what is emerged by pronounced?
3.
Language is recordable. If it be true, what is emerged by recorded?
4.
Example.
An apple is variable and will be rotten by time proceeding.
An apple is pronounced at a glossary shop and will be bought by a homemaker.
An apple is recordable and will be recorded in a photo.

I have thought on language through the rich results of the linguistic Circle of Prague and its important member Sergej Karcevskij. But now my recent thinking has inclined towards algebraic or arithmetic geometrical method and description. Probably it is the time of half farewell to those milestones which led me to the standing place here with rather sufficient results in my ability. Great thanks to all that always encouraged me for hard and vague target on language especially meaning and its surroundings. And also to CHINO Eiichi with love and respect who taught me all the bases of language study.For recent results see the following papers group named AGL Arithmetic Geometry Language and related essays.

C also died early, who had taught me Russian and linguistics. He loved
the old city that had the beautiful towers and bridges.
In C's many works there was the essay "The Moon of Carpathians". He wrote
that the conference was over, departed at Kiev, saw the moon and
churches over the Carpathian Mountains, impetuously went to the west,
passed Slovakia, Moravia, Bohemia, and at last reached "Golden Prague". Prague, it was his youth itself.
Now I cannot hear his voice telling the various anecdotes on languages,
of which he freely had commanded. By the short heading, a newspaper
reported his death, naming as "the genius of linguistics".

TANAKA Akio
In December 1979, I submitted the post-graduate thesis on Japanese Buddhist priest Kukai (774-835)'s maiden work Sangoshiiki that comparatively considered the three regions, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. Probably in January 1980, I met with Prof. ONO Shinobuat the corridor of university. He said to me that he read my thesis and my thinking method using at the thesis was resembled in the method of Bernhard Karlgren at his paper "The Authenticity and nature of the Tso Chuan" 1926. He succesively talkedto me, "TANAKA, did you read the paper?" I promptly answered " Professor, No."
My thesis was presented the other prof. who specialist of the old Buddhism in Japan and probably he sent my thesis to his dear fried ONO. My approach was the study on the appearance frequency distribution of all the expletives appeared in the text.
I knew this famous Sweden sinologist's name earlier and already bought one of his important work Grammata Setica Recensa, 1957 in the early 1970s at Kaifu Shoten Book shop in Kanda, Tokyo. But the paper shown by ONO was perfectly unknown at that time. ONO invite me to his study room and handed me the book Saden Shingi Ko" that was the translation of Karlgren's paper by ONO and published in 1939 from Bunkyudo Shoten Book shop at Hongo, Tokyo, which was one of the leading publisher in the field of Chinese classics in 1930s.
ONO was one of the scholar on Chinese literature from Yuan dynasty to the modern China and the member of Chugoku Bungaku Dokokai, Chinese Literature Society in Japan that led the study of modern Chinese literature in Japan from 1940s. with his colleagues TAKEUCHI Yoshimi, TAKEDA Taijun and the like. In 1980s he had engaged in the translation of long novel, The Journey to the West in the Ming dynasty all the time of his non-university's work.
Going back to the past, I received ONO's lecture " Chinese literature and Modern Japan" at his study room or dean room, who was the dean of the faculty for humanities department. In my memory he lectured precisely to Japanese novelist ODA Takeo, now not famous recently.
Karlgren's book was difficult for my talent at that time but somehow read over and gave back to ONO deeply appreciating his kindness. And some years later in Kanda, Tokyo, I found this Karlgren's book and bought. The book shop's name is Yamamoto Shoten, one of the long established Chinese classic book shop in Kanda. The date is 2 November 1982 by the receipt put in the book.
One day probably in spring 1980, on the train on the way home, I met ONO and told him on his the new lecture on Yuanqu, Yuan dynasty's poems that was frequently said very difficult for modern readers.
I said to him, "Wonderful lecture for excellent undergraduates." He returned definitely," Very important to study such a hard work for me still now."
ONO Shino died suddenly by disease in 18 December 1980, age 74. The conversation at the train was the last hearing of this profound scholar.Tokyo

Glitter of youth through philosophy and mathematics in 1970s

Glitter of youth through philosophy and mathematics in 1970s
TANAKA Akio
In 1970s at Tokyo or in my age 20s there surely exists glitter of youth in my life, now I remember.
In those days, in Japan many fabulous magazines were successively published. Episteme,Toshi(City)、Chugoku(China) and the likes. Especially I loved reading Episteme which had printed many philosophical or philological articles as the form of special issues concentrated important philosopher, thinker and writer. The chief editor of Episteme was NAKANO Mikitaka(1943-2007), probably one of the best editors in the latter half of the 20th century in Japan. The most impressive number was Ludwig Wittgenstein(1889-1951), probably in 1977. Also influenced from the issue of Kurt Gödel(1906-1978)who gave me the possibility of set theory.
In my life, Wittgenstein gave the big influence for thinking and writing style, never entering or approaching his essential philosophical themes.Aftermillennium year when I started the regular writing on language universals, my writing style was resembling in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. My paper written in 2003, Quantum Theory for Language shows a very imitative style to him. This tendency kept on for some time till I changed to adopt algebraic method for more clear description to the themes.
1970s was a relatively calm times after those university's revolution in the late 1960s in which I also compellingly rolled in. In those days I almost had been wandering between library and old book shops aiming my life-time true themes cowardly avoiding the turmoils of university and towns. Blaise Pascal(1623-1662)'s Pansees was my favourite one. One day at Kanda's Taiwan chinese book shop Kaifu Shoten, I bought WANG Guowei(1877-1927)'s Guantangjilin that opened the new frontier for classical Chinese philology mainly streamed by "Small Study", traditional exegetics in China. Influenced WANG Guowei I wrote a paper titled On Time Property Inherent in Characters, 2003 by which I began the latter start of language study.
In 1970s, I had cherished a dream in which I wanted to use mathematical description and get the essential of language. But I had not any ability to proceed the study for it while I read at random several mathematical books. One day I found and bought the amount Nicolas Bourbaki(1935-)'s text books at old book shop in Kanda, Tokyo. They were hard to keep reading for my talent in those days. After all, the books were put aside the desk. The remaining in my mind was adoration to Bourbaki and their brilliant achievement. My return to Bourbaki was long after in 1990s when I again tried the pursuit of language having a clear vision to study language universals according to the Linguistic Circle of Prague, especially aiming to resolve the supposition presented by Sergej Karcevskij(1884-1955).
Turning round the past days, my way was always narrow and winding road. But it keeps till now not breaking off in any situations. The way was finely glittering in my youth days despite under the cloudy sky. Probably I have kept happily walking till now being assisted by many people especially at the field of language, mathematics and relevant studies.
At random now I remember the dear names from whom I never cannot hear their voices.

To my dear friend, KANEKO Yutaka
24/04/2016 22:49To my dear friend, KANEKO Yutaka TANAKA Akio We were always sitting at the right end of the classroom, where the seats were near the entrance from the corridor, so classmates entered the room with rattling noises. But we liked the seats rather satisfying. We were G class of the third year of the high school, which class was all hoped to go universities of the mathematical or science fields. The seats were free to sit but almost determined by the personalities. Serious were sitting at the comparatively before widows sites. The seats were silent and easy to concentrate. We were also serious to the learning but liked the most bad seats that could not concentrate by the various noises for entering and out-going. Sometimes the KANEKO Yutaka and I first met at this class and became best friend. He probably hoped to go to chemistry and I was physics. He was very good at mathematics and I was ordinary at math. I sometimes asked him how to solve the hard quests of math. At that time he smiled to me and said, " there's any little paper? The problem can be written enough by such a little space." Over the our seats, frequently flew to the end of the class where the trash can was set always filled with the calculate-papers for math and writing of English. The members of the class all were eager to solve math quests for preparing to entrance examinations to the universities. At the result they threw the used papers over us to the can. So around the can, the scraps were littered with. I was never tidy but I was the nearest one to the can, so I sometimes went to trash dump to clean the can. After we graduated the high school, he studied chemistry as planned at university. But I selected language study, not physics. I also liked philosophical or linguistic fields for their long historical heritages. What I returned to the field related with physics was already over the year 30s. My research object was narrowed to language universals using mathematical writing or physical approach. After half a century, he died by disease in his researching way. I have learnt same theme on language using maths way not solving any quest from 1920s' Linguistic Circle of Prague. I dream that over my head still now vain calculate-papers are being thrown to the can behind us. If I ask him to help me for solving, he will say to me wanting tiny paper to write the answer concisely with his dear smiling as ever. References1.

Winding road to physics, Revised version
TANAKA AkioWhen I was a student of high school, I hoped to learn physics at university. But from various reasons in fact I learnt language at university, on the other still longing for physics. After graduation I once worked as a high school teacher and eight years passing I returned to university for investigating language study further more. On the way I again met CHINO Eiichi in 1979, from whom I ever learnt Russian in 1969. By his teaching I could have the distinct aim for my study, that was to make clear description to others, not using philosophical terms, but taking mathematical method being also assisted with physical thinking or approach. Mathematics was always set in my mind long before but my talent was not overtaken to its hardness. But aiming clear description I began to learn again or thrice to make a new stage where I had decided to come back someday. It was the very starting point of youth being strongly attracted by physics.

Language, Amalgamation of Mathematics and Physics
TANAKA Akio
Language will become the urgent agenda of this century. Language will be recognised as the amalgamation of mathematics and physics. Because language is mathematically designed physical transmission system in human being. This transmission is finite and compact within a human body but infinite and eternal connected with the outer worlds in the universe.

Substantiality Dedicated to SAPIR Edward
24/04/2016 12:52Substantiality Dedicated to SAPIR Edward TANAKA Akio 1 Substance of language is completion which possesses the distance from the real world.2 The distance is sustained by the fixation for which meaning and time are abstracted.3 If language has not distance, language appears and disappears following the real world proceeding.4 Language is substantially unchangeable. Changeability occurs on surrounding.5 The distance is measured by the longitude from the real world to the substantiality that meaning and time possess.
6 Substantiality is a frame of language.
7 Substantiality is free from the real world.
8 Substantiality is powered by outer energy.
9 Powered substantiality moves complied with possessed command, namely meaning and time.
10 Powered moving substantiality of language is called <quantum>.
11 The idea of quantum is partially realized by <bar code system> in the supermarket or bookstore.12 Substantiality is bar code of can or book. Outer energy is bar code reader. Quantum moves in a cash register. Language generates price addition in the real world.13 Bar code is not language. Bar code is substantiality of language. Bar code does not move by itself. When bar code reader becomes energetic, bar code generates <quantum> in a cash register. Language, namely, price-additional-work, starts at bookstore of station front in the bustling evening.

Thanks to physics through which I ever dreamt in my future
TANAKA Akio
In the days of high school, I deeply dreamt that someday physics would perfectly write over this world's phenomena by the clearest descriptions. So I had longed for studying physics in the future. But I selected language's diverse and wide field at the university, from where returning to the clear description like mathematics needed long and winding road for me. Now in my mind language and physics/mathematics are happily living together for constructing the world's main frame. I wonder why I took so much time to reach here. Long time ago, at least the days I strongly influences by Pascal , philosophy and mathematics were both sides of areas for solving the world's hard problems. It is appropriate that the problems should be solved using all the tools from all the areas, should not be partitioned any artificial walls. From now on, philosophy so far may be parcially solved by mathematics and mathematics might open to the door of complexed phenomena in the world never being written clearly. Now they are suerly solved one by one by the researchers and we feel the solutions like those are becoming common sense now. Probably only I reached here being delayed. But at last I am now situated in a tranquil field. Thanks so many pioneers who had cultivated difficut problem to the easier states for applying to the different fields. Especially to mathematicians. Also to physicians through whose worlds I ever dreamt in my future.

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.Source: Tale / Print by LI Kohr / 27 January 2012

Prague in 1920s
From Print 2012, Chapter 18
Non-symmetry. It was the very theme that I repeatedly talked on with C. Prague in 1920s. Karcevskij's paper "Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique" that appeared in the magazine TCLP. Absolutely contradicted coexistence between flexibility and solidity, which language keeps on maintaining, by which language continues existing as language. Still now there will exist the everlasting dual contradiction in language. Why can
language stay in such solid and such flexible condition like that. Karcevskij proposed the duality that is seemed to be almost absolute contradiction.
Sergej Karcevskij's best of papers, for whom C called as the only genius in his last years' book Janua Linguisticae reserata 1994.

Heritage of The Linguistic Circle of Prague in 1920s
The LCP showed us the eternal flexibility of language, which has overcame the vast trial approach to language and its bases and language universals. The LCP had never persisted one theory or the main stream theories at that time. I have inherited this noble spirit on my study.

Rose season has come again in the garden. I have waited the time after long one year passing. The season only keeps one week or so. The early summer always passes rapidly. So probably we all love this flower.
