Prague in 1920s / 2012-2021

 

Prague in 1920s

Non-symmetry. It was the very theme that I repeatedly talked on with C.
Prague in 1920s. Karcevskij’s paper “Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique” that appeared in the magazine TCLP.  
Absolutely contradicted coexistence between flexibility and solidity, which language keeps on maintaining, by which language continues existing as language.  
Still now there will exist the everlasting dual contradiction in language.
Why can language stay in such solid and such flexible condition like that. Karcevskij proposed the duality that is seemed to be almost absolute contradiction.
Sergej Karcevskij’s best of papers, for whom C called as the only genius in his last years’ book Janua Linguisticae reserata 1994.

Heritage of The Linguistic Circle of Prague in 1920s
The LCP showed us the eternal flexibility of language, which has overcame the vast trial approach to language and its bases and language universals.  The LCP had never persisted one theory or the main stream theories at that time.  I have inherited this noble spirit on my study.

The LCP had never persisted one theory or the main stream theories at that time.  My teacher in life CHINO Eiichi had emphasized at the room on Constructive Linguistics in 1980s.

[Note 3]
In this text Name called C was CHINO Eiichi, who was one of the most excellent modern linguists in Japan.
He died suddenly by disease in 2002.
I first met with him in 1969, he just after returned to Japan from Czech. I was age 21 and he was 37.
I learnt Russian language from him at the tiny room of university.
And I again met with him in 1979, when I had studied Buddhism of Japan again at university.
We often talked on language at the little coffee shop named California, under the dim light of low ceiling.
In 1997 he became the president of university.
But I did not congratulated him for my parting afar from university in those days.
I thought that we could meet easily before long at that dear shop.
Time passed fast than I thought.
I cannot listen to his delightful conversation anymore.
Rest in peace over the sky.
