LETTER TO SEBASTIAN 7 JUNE 2021
PPS ADDED ON EDWARD SAPIR 15 JUNE 2021


Dear Sebastian,

Thanks a lot for your likes to my blogging.

I think that my papers and essays are of very narrow fields and themes, so I feel pleasant for your likes many times.

From last year Autumn to April this year, I kept on writing Essay on a researcher of French literature who died at 37 in 1976. I learnt French from him at university.

The days are 1970s and we were all young and eager to study towards future.

But everybody was in the confusion at those days after disturbance at universities.

I am also in the same situation.

I hoped to study linguistics but never found its way adequate to me . I only learnt several languages, Chinese, Korean, Russian, French and so forth.

At last my object and its way to learn were found in the end of the 20th century.

It was really a long and winding road as the Beatles sang at those days.

All were dear for me, all were thankful to the pioneers of language and mathematics.

Yours sincerely,

T.A.

PS

One of pioneers of language is CHINO Eiichi 1932-2002, who studied Czech language at Czech and became authority on Old Slavic language. I learnt Russian language and the Linguistic Circle of Prague from him.

I ever wrote several essays on his memory.

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.

SRFL Paper

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 / 2014A 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.
