Through Models to Language Universals

Through Models to Language Universals

TANAKA Akio

               
                       
1.
Language universals are essentially pursued through natural language.
2.
I pursue language universals through language models described by mathematics.
2.1
The reason is depended on natural language's nature that is partially pointed out at the paper, Presupposition on Natural Language 2012.
3.
On natural language, at least, even word cannot be defined by my study level.
4.
My main target pursuing language in at letters or characters that are stable and recordable, furthermore remained language's original images especially at Chinese characters.
5.
Models can be written by adequate mathematical description using adequate theorems already established in the history of mathematics.
5.1
In the latter half of the 20th century, mathematics is vastly developed for using and describing various themes of human beings.
5.2
Kurt Godel and Nicolas Bourbaki made the mile stones for application to the humane studies.
6.
Described mathematical models are reflecting some part of natural language.
7.
If a certain theorem is  effective to pseudo-language universals,  the theorem probably should be newly rewritten or constructed in the space of natural language. Its situation are perfectly unknown  in my present study stage.
7.1
For example, paper, Loop Time of Character 2011 describes the relationship between character and its time. From these presuppositions, meaning of word is defined by mathematics. But the situation of presuppositions does not become clear viewpoint in mathematics and natural language.
7,2
Vast cliffs are standing in front of the study. It is really starting point for me.
7.3
The forerunners ever said anyway that there exists a mountain, they climb it.

CHEN Donghai taught me the Chinese conversation in 1967. Time flies so fast.
He was the important adviser for making Iwanami Chinese Dictionary that was the first dictionary alphabetically arranged dictionary in Japan.
I have the dear memory for him.
He ever heard classical Chinese opera in Peijing, that was for hearing not for seeing, so hear-opera people sat sideways toward the opera's stage. He talked us the condition for hearing pleasantly.
CHEN Donghai, after all, taught us the Peijing's tradition on history and culture succeeding the glorious Qing's dynasty.
My language study's basis was constructed in those days being led by CHEN Donghai.

Odakyu Line, the platform of Shinjuku Station, Tokyo

Odakyu Line is the most popular train to visit Hakone area, which train was awarded the most fantastic new train of the year, some years ago. Of course I love this line very much. The trip to Hakone starts as standing at the platform of the Odakyu Line at Shinjuku Station, Tokyo.




Owakudani (Great Crater Valley) and Lake Ashinoko, Hakone

Owakudani (Great Crater Valley), Hakone is one of the most famous sightseeing spots in the East Japan. So we have visited several times from the children days.Active volcano (Owakudani), lake (Ashinoko Lake) and fine hot springs are very popular for the people living in East Japan.There are many museums, traditional crafts and Japanese sweet cakes and various fruits to the visitors.My favourite one is the sightseeing by excursion ship on the Lake Ashinoko. We can always see the fantastic view of mt. Fuji at the ship.
Hakone is only 2 hour trip using express train of Odakyu Line, one of the popular lines among the visitors and train fans.

Owakudani, Hakone. Active volcano 

TANAKA Akio 





               
                         
Owakudani (Great Crater Valley), Hakone is the notable active volcano in East Japan. The place is the famous sight -seeing spot in Hakone area. We went the place several times by the cable-car that has obtained the most passengers in the world, some 8 million people getting on a year. The cable-car crossed high over the centre of the crater that is always smoking. A friend of foreign country said to me that the car is safe above the volcano? Oh, we have become familiar to the fact but surely if the blast happen, the car will be quite dangerous. In the photo, using the enlargement system on the computer, at least two workers are working for the stabilization of the volcano. Sincerely thanks for them!


Intuition and Mathematics

Intuition and Mathematics

TANAKA Akio

               
  Tokyo, 30 August 2012              

Intuition and mathematics are deeply concerned with each other. In my stand, intuitive concept is first flowing up and the next mathematical description is arranged. According to this situation, intuition is very important and if there is no such flowing up thinking, the development is almost not so easy proceeding. The time concept in language is the key concept of my language model that is at first found from the ancient Chinese characters' construction and after writing a short intuitive paper, the more precise descriptions are took up using mathematics especially of geometry. But at the deepest basis of language, time is seemed to be infinitive but not spread tin a strait line to the future, more likely going round as  circle or circular situation. This conjecture was firmed by Yi-jing that is one of the Five Great Classics of China. I received the lecture on Yi-jing from philosopher NISHI Junzo some five years at the university. The world of Yi-jing consists from perfect infinitive circularity and this world is perfectly recognised by human for its closed situation of infinity. It is very hard to recognise infinity as perfect whole image and Yi-jing is resolved this baffling problem through the shut-in world, that is "compact" concept of mathematics.

NON-COOPERATIVE GAMES
John F. Nash, Jr.
May, 1950

THEO. 1: Every finite game has an equilibrium point.

Nash's splendidness exists in the analysis of phenomena and the interpretation of mathematical results.
This fact gives us the bravery to cultivate unknown field.
Nash shows us the fertile possibility of mathematics.
The fact also shows us the insesant heritage of mathematics through Nash's citation of the result of KAKUTANI shizuo's generalised fixed point theorem.

Substantiality

Substantiality

Dedicated to SAPIR Edward



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.

Aim Dedicated to CHINO Eiichi

Aim 

Dedicated to CHINO Eiichi 
The dear old days of campus or coffee shop at the station front 


Quantum theory for language was at first aimed for the research of meaning structure in language. The theory has been influenced from the linguistic circle of Prague.
The person that taught me the history of the circle was CHINO Eiichiwho taught me the linguistics at the lectures of the university or in the daily talk crossing the campus in the late afternoon. He was young, and I was young too, in the 1970s.
Later quantum theory for language led for language universals. The theory has been also influenced from physics, especially from the book of SCHRÖDINGER Erwin.
More after  the life of DELBRÜCK Max was also gave me the courage of learning for his pioneer study of application to biology from physics.

Presupposition on Natural Language

Presupposition on Natural Language

TANAKA Akio

               
                        
1.
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.
5.
What distinguishes language from apple? The answer is uncertain. So I make the language models parting from natural language.

Shorter Oxford English Dictionary


TANAKA Akio 
                                       
THE SHORTER OXFORD DICTIONARY THIRD EDITION REVISED WITH AGENDA, 1956 is the most precious dictionary for me, that I bought at a old book shop in Shibuya, Tokyo when I attended a conference held at the city. I am very satisfied with all the styles of this dictionary. Hard solid dark blue cover, soft quarter-bound in leather, easy consulting quality of paper and more than anything else, that finest typology.
Today, as doing so every time on meeting with unknown word, I looked up one daily-used word, bandanna, that I usually use at the working time for refreshing the spirit, today also at joiner working. Now I am making a little storehouse for storing garden goods of wife and me. According to the dictionary, bandanna is derived from Hind. bundhnu, first appeared in 1752.
Oh my style of working possibly may be succeeded over 250 years. Definitely I will become a fine joiner knowing the history of the word.

Sekinan Research Field of Language


Establishment
Place: Hakuba Nagano Japan
Date: August 23, 2003


Hakuba
Hakuba shows solemn beauty to visitors all seasons, especially in winter. Hakuba 3 mountains area is an Arcadia for mountain climbers in Japan. The mountains are what I love more than any others.

Quantum Theory for Language
I stayed here in summer 2003 and found the framework of the theory <Quantum Theory for Language>.

Learning
I have learnt linguistics from an Oriental point of view. I have ever been interested in hieroglyphics in ancient China. It is called <Chinese inscriptions on bone and tortoiseshell>. These inscriptions were already being completed for writing contemporary Chinese language approximately 2400years ago. I have learnt WANG NiansunWANG YingzhiDUAN Yucai and WANG Guowei. Especially from WANG Guoei I was influenced beyond measure. His treatises "Guantang Jilin" almost overlaps in my youth.

Kanda
I often wandered Kanda area which was located in central Tokyo and famous of antiquarian books on Japan, China and the Occident.

WANG Guowei
What I first read WANG’s works is probably at 1973. Every his work is extremely difficult for me at that time. But after all times he encouraged me toward the far long research of Chinese ancient characters and language universals. He was truly my youth. 

CHINO Eiichi
While reading the works of above mentioned Qing dynasty scholars, I have also received influence of occidental linguistics, which was taught by CHINO Eiichi. I at first met him in the Russian language class. He taught us Russian. He was in thirties at 1969. I was just in twenty. The classroom was small and he was always the very front of me. We met again at 1979. He and I were slightly older than ever.

Prague
CHINO taught me structural linguistics, the linguistic circle of Prague and Karcevskij.He then wrote splendid papers for understanding linguistics in readable and careful style. We talked about many things under the dim light at coffee shop near the station. Name was "California". When up and down stairs creaked in our weights. He died in 2002. My theory emerges from his talk. Further thanks to CHINO. With our younger days in Tokyo.
