SRFL Collection

SRFL Collection contains papers and essays written at SRFL Sekinan Research Field of Language from 2003 at Tokyo, which succeeds Sekinan Library founded in 1986 at Tokyo.
Main theme is on language universals that has been researched since 1920s, as SRFL, Linguistic Circle of Prague has been always put at the centre of the study.
In Japan. on Prague School CHINO Eiichi probably first introduced systematically through his direct study experience at Prague between 1958 and 1964.
I first met with him in 1969 at Tokyo, from whom received Russian language at beginner's small class.
And after I again met him in 1979 for his lecture of structural linguistics., to which I listen till March 1986.
In this year I also started own theme on language, which was language universals by mathematical description surging from After Nicolas Bourbaki, that were applied to wide and deep approach even at human studies.
For me algebraic geometry was the great aid to deepen the theme, to which at 1920s most researchers were recognised important but hard to operate with clear description that were succeeded at the field of phonology.
In 2003 I narrowly wrote up the trial paper on characters, at that time not for total language, but I got the steady way to approach the hard target of meaning through which faintly could see the be the final target, language universals.
