 The Days of Ideogram

​Ideogram from hieroglyph to LATEX Symbol List

Mark * in the text shows Reference number.


1. Ideogram
Ideogram has long history.
In the early paper I ever simply defined ideogram*0-1.
I also wrote relative papers on ideogram from the viewpoint of Chinese characters*3-1, 3-2, 3-3. 
Especially Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language 2003 is a starting root of my  research on language universals*3-2.

The history of ideogram continues from Egyptian hieroglyph to Chinese character and now adds LATEX Symbol List*6-1.
The 21st century will necessarily become the century of ideogram.
The reasons are below.
  1. Ideogram can contain rich information in small space. 
  2. Ideogram can show information at a glance.
  3. Ideogram can sustain information stably in long time*1-7.
  4. ​Ideogram has fertile capability to superb diversity of languages*8-5. 

2. Set theory
Probably in summer 1977, I was  designing for a paper on the sentence in language. The central part of the paper was connection between words or sentence, in which the logic of  language would be shown using the set theory as a simplified model of true and false. I was strongly influenced from Kurt Godel, Gaishi Takeuchi and Bourbaki*1-1. But this design was abandoned for my lack of mathematical basis keeping on.

3. Qing dynasty's linguistics
In 1980s and 1990s I was lost in learning Chinese classical character theory, Xiaoxue, especially Qing dynasty for ideogram's fundamental property*2-1. At this period I did not write any paper on language. I solely read WANG Guowei*1-2, WANG Yinzhi, DUAN Yucai and Qing dynasty's linguists.

4. Time property in characters
In Autumn 2002 I got pneumonia and was hospitalized about 2 weeks, where I thought of 1970s' dream, writing clear description on language universals by mathematics. The theme was as hard as ever. So, at the bed I thought the basis of language from a side of Chinese character’s classical approach which had vast heritage till Qing dynasty. I directed my attention to the character's figure which had compound meanings containing time elements continuing from Yin dynasty's hieroglyphic characters left on bones and tortoise carapaces some 2400 years ago. I thought that Chinese characters had containing time and its structure could be written by geometric approach once I had abandoned for difficulty. After leaving hospital, I wrote a paper titled On Time Property Inherent in Characters*3-1.  

5. Quantum elements 
In 2003 staying at Hakuba, Nagano, I wrote a rial paper on language universals from the viewpoint of physics. This was remained manuscript till now. The title was Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language*3-2 for the time being. Because in summer 2003 I wrote the first paper on language universals from physics titles as Quantum Theory for Language*3-3 which was read at a conference held in winter  2003 of Nara Japan. 

6. Finite generative
Language probably begins from finite elements and generates.*3-6, 3-7 its world responding to outer world. I learned the concept of finite generative from von Neumann Algebra*4-1 at around 2006 and 2007. 



7. Structure and dimension
Language probably has structure, which details are unknown now for me. But several phenomena hints me the existence of structure containing dimension. Its example is shown at the Crete's lie, on which I wrote a tiny paper titled as True-false problem of the Crete*3-8 in 2013.
More details on mathematical approach to dimension is shown at Algebraic Geometry Language*4-2.

8. Immanent time
Chinese character has immanent time in figure *3-1, 3-4. On the theme I wrote several papers between 2003 and 2005. Main papers related with the theme are seen in  Early Paper and Early Paper 2*5-1, 5-2.
For the immanent time, I wrote a mathematical paper titles as Word as Infinite Loop Space*3-9.
In comparison with Chinese character, hieroglyph is very fantastic object on ideogram. For more details, hieroglyph is more complex for describing the concept using two functions, logogram expressing things' meaning  and phonogram expressing words' pronunciation*0-2, 8-3.  
Besides hieroglyph has also definitive element which is put at the end of the word. This element is very similar to Chinese character's meaning element which is called Pang 旁 in Chinese*8-3.
But even for learning hieroglyph's  basis, I have not enough time now. I only like to see  the relative events on hieroglyph
 at time to time .  The exhibition held at Mori Arts Gallery in 2012, Tokyo titled as The British Museum ANCIENT EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD JOURNEY THROUGH THE  AFTERLIFE *8-2 was very fantastic, in which The Greenfield Papyrus was overwhelming. 

9. Disposition, distance, flow and boundary
​For thinking of language, I have been interested in four elements, disposition, distance flow and boundary*3-10,11,12, 13,  which seem to become the basis of language.
especially at researching ideogram, disposition is fundamental to construct grammar.  

10. Energy, dimension and distance

For more further research language , now I suppose at least three elements being  based from mathematical description, which are energydimension and distance*3-14.

11. Mapping and category
Ideogram now has an important part in computer age. Image confirmation is very popular at internet banking system, which can contain vast information in one image, so password decoding is more difficult than phonogram or Arabic numerals.
Generally ideogram has vast information to the others using comparatively easy way.
This ideograms situation resembles mapping at category theory in mathematics. For this point I wrote rough sketch to apply category theory to language theory. Sketch name is  Derived Category Language 2016*4-3.

The Days of Decipherment

 The Days of Decipherment


TANAKA Akio

On 20 July 2016 I went Tokyo National Museum, Ueno Park, Tokyo to see the exhibition JOURNEY TO THE IMMORTALS: TREASURES OF ANCIENT GREECE, where I saw the linear A and B. It reminds me the youth days, so to say, the days of decipherment.

1960s -1970s is the age of decipherment in a sense. I was age 20 in 1967 and was learning language and literature at university. In 1958 John Chadwick's THE DECIPHERMENT OF LINEAR B was published from Cambridge University Press. At the preface of the book he wrote that the decipherment of linear B was told  at Documents in Mycenaean Greek (Cambridge University Press, 1956) and Michael Ventris that deciphered the Linear B.

In the same age in Japan, Xixia wenzi (Xixia characters) in China was deciphered by NISHIDA Tatsuo (1928-2012) who wrote the analysis and grammar of Xixia characters through the paper Seikamoji no bunseki narabini Seikago bunpou no kenkyuu in 1962.
In almost the same time, Inca characters were studying to decipher. I frequently heard that Russian team developed largely.

In early 1970s I frequently went to Kanda, Tokyo where old bookshops were selling vast Oriental books at the Hakusan street and Yasukuni Street. I bought Chinese classics, especially linguistic classics written in the Qing dynasty and I read them almost every day containing the comparison with the western linguistic results. The Qing dynasty's heritage were DUAN YucaiWANG NiansunWANG Yingzhi and WANG Guowei and so forth. DUAN Yucai's Showenjezi zhu and WANG Guowei's Guantang jilin  were the most important for me.

In France, 1960s was the days of Bourbaki that was one of the decipher of geometry by algebra, at least I thought so at that time. I sought and bought several Bourbaki's books at the old bookshops in Kanda, Tokyo,which is the largest old bookshop streets in Japan. But from my ability to mathematics Bourbaki was too much difficult to read on. From the days the long and winding road began to mathematics and its applicable study for language universals.

At the exhibition of ancient Greece I confirmed in particular that the stability of language was  kept by letters and characters from the Linear A and Linear B. 

Exhibition Catalogue numbers are the next.
The numbers 39 and 40 are Linear A. 41 and 77 are Linear B.

39. Clay juglet c. 1800 B.C. ~ c. 1700 B.C.
40. Clay bar c. 1700 B.C. ~ c. 1650 B.C.
41. Clay tablet c. 1375 B.C. ~ c. 1350 B.C.
77. Linear B bar and tablet c. the 13th century B.C.


For my part the stability  has been one of the biggest themes on language phenomena since I was taught from CHINO Eiichi through the results of the Linguistic Circle of Prague, especially of Sergej Karcevskij.

Letter to a friend. February 2024

 

Dear Sir,


Regarding Tsuneyuki KAWASAKI, I found a letter. I sent to a friend in my Gmail, so, now
I will send it to you.

The main thing I noticed was how amazing the teacher was at quoting the Man'yoshu.
As you also write in the letter, this was the turning point
for me to completely move away from history and return to my original language.


.......................................................



It's part of a letter.
The blue text remains the same.



.......................................................



After the lectures and seminars at Wako University were over and the students had gone home,
When I was talking face-to-face with the professor in the quiet lab,
It was an irreplaceable moment for me.

The conversation ranged from lectures and exercises to a wide range of topics.
The topics were wide-ranging, including the former First Higher School, his research at university, and his involvement with Mount Hiei after graduation.
In particular, he was deeply involved in the pioneering studies of Sanskrit, Tibetan, Pali, and other languages ​​that led the way in philosophy and modern Buddhist studies .
It was a sign of deep respect.
At the end of those days, the teacher would sometimes say,
His words were, "I have just done what I was given."

didn't understand what the teacher was trying to convey to me by using the word "given. "
Although it would generally be taken as a sign of humility, I didn't ask my teacher.
I knew that the teacher would rarely respond to my questions in more detail.

In the summer of 1982, the editing of a three-volume collection of historical writings to be published by the University of Tokyo Press was almost complete the proofreading stage was underway.
The author, the editors of the anthology, and the publishing company were all involved in this work.
Because I was involved in the chronology and bibliography, the publishing company asked me to also proofread the text of the entire anthology .

The university had already entered summer vacation and my regular night shift work had almost finished, so
From July to early September, I was dedicated to proofreading the text of all three volumes.
This was my first time doing such serious, responsible proofreading work.
I didn't know how to properly proofread, so I worked by going back and forth between the text and the typesetting many times.

And at that moment, the image of people who lived their lives wholeheartedly in history , something that had previously been completely invisible to me due to my lack of talent , emerged from each and every sentence of the professor's essay.
The teacher had quoted an exquisite poem in an exquisite place.
Although it is excluded from this collection, a careful reading of the first volume of the anthology, which deals with the relationship between ancient literature and history, reveals that
When just one poem by a poet who has only one or a few poems published in the Manyoshu was placed in the description of the professor's essay, the poet's entire life was revealed as if it were being surveyed .
More than any commentary on the poet or the waka poem, the deep and broad world that the poet had experienced emerged from .
The professor simply quoted that poem at a certain point in his essay .
The teacher truly " just did what he was told to do."

But through this encounter,
As a result, it has disappeared from history.
To me, my teacher's world was separate.
From now on, I will return to the world of language, which was my original subject .
The road from then on was long, long and winding.

His theory gave me a vague idea of ​​my own state of being in this world . I too felt that
I had to do my own thing .
Language itself taken as a given.

Letter to a friend. February 2024

 謹啓


川崎庸之について、友人に送った手紙がGmailに残っておりましたので、
ご送付申し上げます。

先生の万葉集の引用のすごさに接したことが中心ですが、
手紙の中にもありますが、
私が歴史から完全に離れ、もとの言語へと帰ってゆく契機となったことが記されています。


.......................................................



手紙の一部です。
青字も、もとのままです。



.......................................................



和光大学の講義と演習が終わり学生さんたちも帰ったあと、
静かになった研究室で、先生と相対でお話するときは、
私にはかけがえのないひと時でした。

会話は講義や演習から離れて、広い話題に及びました。
旧制一高のこと、大学での研究、卒業後に係わった比叡山のことなど多岐に渡りました。
殊に先生は哲学や近代仏教学を先導したサンスクリット、チベット、パーリ等の諸語を切り開いた諸先学に、
深い敬意を表していました。
そうした最後に先生が時折、述べられたのは、
「私は所与のことをしてきただけだから」ということばでした。

私には、先生が「所与のこと」ということばで、私に何を伝えようとしたかは、わかりませんでした。
一般には謙遜のことばとして受け取られますが、私は先生に尋ねることはしませんでした。
先生が私のそうした問いに、より詳しく話されることがほとんどないことを知っておりました。

1982年夏、東大出版会から刊行される全三巻の歴史著作選集の編集がほぼ終わり校正の段階になったとき、
著者、選集の各編集の先生、出版会がその作業に係わりましたが、
年譜と著作目録に私が係わりました関係から、併せて選集全体の本文の校正も行うことを出版会から頼まれました

丁度大学はすでに夏休みとなり、私の夜の定時制の勤務もほぼ終了していましたので、
7月から9月初めまで、私はひたすら全三巻の本文校正に従事しました。
こうした本格的で責任のある校正作業は初めてでした。
本当の校正の方法は知りませんでしたので、私は本文と組版を何度も行き来しながら、作業にあたりました。

そしてこのとき、非才な私にはそれまで全く見えていなかった、歴史をひたむきに生きた人々の姿が、先生の論考の一文一文から浮かび上がりました。
先生は絶妙な位置に絶妙な一首を引用していたのです。
今回の論集からは除外されていますが、古代文学と歴史との係わりを扱った選集第一巻を精読すると、
万葉集に一首か数首しか掲載されていない歌人の、たった一首が先生の論考の叙述の中に置かれると、まるでその歌人の全生涯が通観されるかのように浮かび上がってきたのです
その歌人や和歌のどのような解説よりも、その歌人の経てきた深く広い世界がたった31文字の歌そのものから、浮かび上がってきたのです。
先生はただその一首を論考のある位置に引用しただけなのです。
先生はまさしく所与のことをしてきただけ」だったのです。

しかし私はこの邂逅を通して、
結果的に歴史から去って行くこととなりました。
私にとって、先生の世界は隔絶していました。
私はこれ以後、私本来の主題であった言語の世界に、帰って行くことになります
途は以後、長く遠く折れ曲がっていましたが。

先生の論考が、私自身のこの世界でのありようを、かすかにながら示してくださったのです。
私もまた、私自身の所与のことを、なさねばならないと思ったのです。
言語そのものを所与のこととして。
