Traveling in the late spring 1983. Translated by Google 2023

Traveling in the late spring

　I go to Nara on May 22nd. The flower garden is beautiful. See the Pure Land Art Exhibition at the Nara National Museum. Buddha statue, Pure Land Mandala and Raigou. Prof. Katsutoshi Ono (Professor ONO) was in charge of the practice of Kansai University Museology. I will listen to the story together and listen to the lecture in the auditorium. On the way home, at Hiyoshikan, I was relieved to see her in good spirits.
　On the morning of the 23rd, I will call Prof. Kawasaki. Please let Hiei accompany you. I asked him to the hotel, and when the car turned into a slope and entered a deep grove of trees, he said, ``You'll feel relieved when you come to this area.'' From the Hiei Driveway to the summit. The azalea flowers outside the window are beautiful.
　Climb to the observation deck at the summit. “Because you can see Kyoto three-dimensionally,” he says. And see the rhododendron garden. in the light of late spring.
　Head to Yokokawa. See Sho Kannon at Yokogawa Chudo. The teacher said to Dogen's statue, "Rather, you have a child's face." Walk through the tranquil grove and see the garden of Eshin-in Temple. It is said that this place is “because it retains the remnants of the Heian period,” and he tells us about the rockwork and the undulations that remind us of the valley. Reaching the Shiki Kodo Hall. The story of Ryogen and Genshin.
　From Yokokawa, take the Okuhiei Driveway down to Lake Biwa. Calm lake surface and green countryside. I no longer need the umbrella I prepared in the morning.
　Arrive in Sakamoto and enjoy a feast at a traditional soba restaurant. Eizan, where Sensei visited for the first time. The Complete Works of Dengyo Daishi.
　After thanking the teacher for the day, we went to Hiyoshi Taisha. Afterwards, go down a gentle slope to Eizan Station and return to Kyoto on the Kosei Line, which has just entered. The hustle and bustle reminded me of summer.

Letter to Y. Of Broad Language 4th Edition

Dear Y.,

1. From the definition of language to the direction of language research

1.1

I don't use the Japanese word "research" very often.but hereAbout language

Language study that makes thinking easy In other words, the question is The purpose of language research aim

and language research applications I think that's what it means.

When it comes to what language is here, in general,Language is what humans think of their minds.

A way of communicating state fairly precisely, I think it will be something like that. here

Usually, the language that humans speak and hear is assumed. so-called natural language

is. However, in my research on language, I would like to

It does not define the so-called language.My research, of course, involves natural language,

more extensive is. Moreover In my opinion, defining language in terms of natural language is still ambiguous.

I think it will only be a bad thing. This is the reason why super-languages are advocated in foundational mathematics theory.

vinegar.

1.2

Therefore, I do not call my research linguistics, and even in English I refer to linguistics, philology, etc.

does not use the term Because these terms are centered around natural language. my

case, it will be more extensive, so I just write research on language etc.

vinegar. this Broad Language, in my terms Broad Language but we will talk about this later.

will be described.

So, I wonder if confusion will occur if it remains undefined.

If so, you can (probably) understand the situation of the language I am talking about from what I have written, so

I will not use vague definitions.Since we mainly use mathematics,

The world built by axioms, theorems, etc., is the language I present.

vinegar.Mathematics is often written as having a history of 5,000 years since Greece, but in the long history

and have refined results. Often in the field of probability and statistics, this result is 100 million times

Since it was verified, it is probably okay.

It is not guaranteed that there will be problems when。

1.3

Mathematics cannot exist without absolute guarantees. That's the proof.

vinegar.But the word "perfect" is not commonly used. As Kruto Godel puts it, “Inside Mathematics

It is not possible to prove the completeness of mathematics using existing methods.”incompleteness theorem

Incompleteness theorem was proved in 1928. Now Iwanami Bunko

There is also a translation of it in , but I still don't fully understand it. How many proofs

I read it in kind. From the outside, it may look intimidating, but Mathematics itself is

Even if there is such a theorem, I will not be shaken。

1.4

For example, in language I use the word distance.the distance

It would be quite difficult to strictly define ba itself in natural language.。

Words such as linguistic space are also used, but in natural language, space is defined by

It will still be quite difficult.

Words such as change in language are often used, but the change from where to where and how

If there is a change, what is its substance?

things become meaningless. Also in the first place, when you start thinking about what change is,

Pick up will not arrive. Wittgenstein famously said, "Philosophy is the history of misunderstandings."

However, it seems that we have built something like a house of cards on top of the ambiguity of language.

I think

Difficulties arise when trying to basically define language by language.I will omit the details, but

Since the 1970s, there have been advances in the field of foundations of mathematics.In the summer of 2017, Gaishi Takeuchi

A Japanese pioneer of mathematics theory passed away.I learned a lot from him too. "Mathematics Center

Mina” February 2018 issue features him. It was a lot of fun for me.

But I'm not against philosophy. vice versa My roots are derived from philosophy

think there is It's from

1.5

For this reason,I no longer write the Basic stuff of a language in a language.

Ta. It's easy to put it this way, but in my case, it takes people in their 20s to 40s to get here.

I borrowed.

At the end of the 1970s, probably during the summer vacation of 1978 (because I was a teacher) when I was 31, I was still in Tokyo.

Yes, but there was a time when I was working on a research application paper for the Tokyo Language Institute. prize separately

It wasn't that I wanted to get

because it was The content is what a sentence in language is, and what I am currently thinking about

I tried to put together something like the preparation stage of . Method is a set of mathematics

I tried to use theory and mathematics foundation theory. In conclusion, as soon as you start writing,

Convinced that I could not write what I was aiming for in the accumulation of time, I abandoned this plan.

Ta. By the way, in Europe and the United States, mathematics theory is positioned as a branch of logic rather than a branch of mathematics.

is included. I think it's better too.

1.6

Why did you stop at this point? I have little knowledge of language and mathematics, and my ability is low.

Of course, I will list the rest.

#1 I tried to mainly use the set theory of mathematics, but only the achievements of mathematics in that field at that time (many

min) Inability to handle complex language situations.

#2 Mathematics theory pursues the development of logic, and it is impossible to approach the roots of language itself.

(With the results at that time) it is not possible.

#3 The language as a whole is vast, and it is difficult for me to determine what part of the language I should focus on.

not

These were the main reasons for the cancellation.

1.7

In 1979, at the age of 32, I returned to college to study linguistics.Reunited with Eiichi Chino(first met in 1969)

years as a Russian teacher), where mainly Prague Linguistic Circle in the 1920s

I was told in detail about the situation. Among them Sergej Kartsevsky overwhelming presence of

came into me In his last book, The Open Door to Linguistics, Chino simply

He who called himself a genius,language duality pointed out.The language is soft and flexible to the outside world

Absorbs but at the same time has a strong and sturdy structure That's what it means. this contradiction

It is in this duality that the essence of language lies. Broadly speaking, this is a semantic

The most important part of this semantic language, which is part of the study of the time, was

And even now, it has been shelved as being too difficult and has been turned to more elaborate construction of simpler phonology.

I wrote For example, American structural linguistics after the 1950s is a typical example.

Since then, Chomsky's generative grammar has been mostly excluded from the semantics, and the focus has been on the structure of the grammar.

The temporal element of the language emerges It is. this later in my mind Presence of Perelman and

Connected To go.

In the end, no matter how much time passed, my Russian didn't improve, but I still have a deep attachment to it.

Last year, I read a booklet on Russian grammar for the first time in a while. A long time ago, Hakusuisha's habit sentence

The grammar in the library was good, but this time Brian Kemple's book from Dover Publications is simple.

It was clean and the important parts were detailed and excellent. The author also states on page 94 that

It was impressive to be there.

"the definitions do not pretend to be complete, or to settle points of interpretation that

grammarians have been disputing for the past several hundred years."

1.8

Although meaning is one of the most important things in language, it has not been used in linguistics in the last hundred years.

The field will expand temporarily, but this is the role of language in society.

Well, it's a macro thing, and it will eventually be absorbed into sociology and anthropology. still

The meaning itself was unexplored territory. For me, the philosophical is Wittgenstein's sharp

Karcevskij joins in this

So we are almost ready. The target has already been centered on kanji and kanji China near

The rigorous linguistics of the), so the rest is the writing method

My challenge was to refine mathematics as law in my own way.

1.9

Fortunately, since around the 1980s, mathematics has developed dramatically, and an era has come when it is being applied to a wide range of fields.

Here we come. Iwanami Shoten has spent nearly 30 years developing mathematics

I have arranged the exhibition accordingly. Kyoritsu Publishing also traditionally had a series of books, so

It continues to publish contemporary achievements in various mathematics, and is still in progress. I am now called "Mathematical Brilliance"

I love reading the "Ki" series.

A mathematician once said in an interview, ``Now mathematics has finally accumulated enough to describe problems in various fields.

It's been a long time, isn't it?"

Now I can write my own problems, choosing from a wealth of mathematics methods.

Ta. Here Philosophy - Wittgenstein, Object - Elementary Schools such as Kingdom Wei, Purpose - Karcevskij, Method -

In 1986, I finished my studies as a university research student, quit teaching, created a library, and was able to devote myself almost entirely to language research.

It was decided. Of course, the biggest factor was the understanding of those around me. I

Suga.

in Japan Saicho and Kukai I read mainly. Saicho is hard to read, Kukai is easy to read

is my impression. Professor Tadayoshi Kondo, an expert in Japanese literature whom I admire and respect, was a scholar of the former Soviet Union,

He was asked to send him a copy of Hifuron, and he fulfilled his promise, but Kondo-sensei himself said he hadn't read it.

It was written in Sei. This book is highly acclaimed as a phonological theory of the Tang dynasty, as there is no similar book from the same period.

It is worth reading, but it is also worth reading as a modern phonology. It's just punctuation

It will be difficult to read without it. There are good publications in China now. i bought that book

I want to read it again. Ever since I entered university, my belief is to start from the East.

I feel that I have come to fruition here.

In the autumn of 2017, at the Tokyo National Museum, there was a special exhibition of Unkei, a sculptor from the Kamakura period.

I will omit the elementary school in modern China for now.

2. Why is linguistics research so attractive, and are there any developments and applications from it?

Along with this love of theory, I also liked the philosophical direction of searching for something fundamental. high school

It was ambiguous at the time, but later in the 1970s, in my late twenties, Wittgenstein one translation after another

In it, philosophical ambiguity should be avoided, and I began to seek a different direction. As a result

Mathematics was also considered effective.I have loved mathematics since high school.

Differential equations were the most effective when trying to find a solution for dynamics.

I can't solve it at the calculus level, and it was impressive that I thought this would be after university

In my twenties, I studied mathematics little by little while working as a teacher. At this time in Kanda, Fran

2.5

My position is as above, but I would like to know if there is any development or application in the real world from there.

I usually don't think much about whether there is a future, but if I force it,

I can think of one thing.

It's a medical application. It's not like I'm going to do that much, but the theoretical

At the current stage, I think that only the direction is mathematically possible, and I need to apply the preparations for that.

It's not a primary goal, but it's in progress. mySite,　Geometrization

Language　on the right side of the Genre Preliminary is it.

Geometrization Language　What is "Geometric language” means something like that.

2.6

First of all, it is necessary to briefly show what a geometrization is.In 1980 Thurston made a three-dimensional

The conjecture that a closed manifold decomposes into eight kinds of geometric structures submitted.

In the early 1980s, Hamilton formulated this conjecture as a kind of equation.、2002 or so

2003 was finally resolved by Perelman.More succinctly, three-dimensional

Here is my reasoning. In the field of medicine, various image analysis

It is used to identify the disease and the stage of progression of the disease. This solution

The judgment of the analysis depends on the visual observation of the doctor, but as the images are diversified and the amount is enormous,

So, at present, it is classified by statistical processing, divided into several types, and detailed judgments are made.

It seems that it is coming to the point where it can be done. If this classify statistical agglomerations by geometricizationthing

As I have already said, I am not conducting linguistic research with the aim of such applications.

there is no. As shown in 2.4,I am a mountain climber who continues to yearn for unclimbed peaks

But my field is not the semiotics semiotics that were popular for a while. Semiotics are fertile

I think Hirono, but the method is not clear. I will refrain from going into detail for now.

Considering this, I can imagine how important the ancient Chinese oracle bone inscriptions after 1400 BC are.

you can imagine. Kanji has inherited pictograms from ancient times in an unbroken way to the present day.

It is the extant writing system that has been around for a long time and is an important branch of language. I love this kanji

It was the first subject of research.

2.10

Can you see the general development of my linguistic research?The meaning of language includes temporal changes.

For the first time, it is expressed clearly in mathematics as a geometric figure.However, I am not aware of such developments.

I hardly ever thought about it. I'll just pack my bags to build the next Base Camp

There may be differences. Also, I'm not sure if it answers your question.

yeah. Please forgive me for that.

As I was writing this, I realized that once upon a time, a professor of Buddhist studies in Kyoto wrote in his book,

I remembered the words. A teacher talks about Buddhism around an outdoor bonfire at night in Tibet

When the Buddhist monks recite the sutras from memory,

Because he was doing research based on documents at his desk, he was unable to respond quickly.
