Publisher of a language of cat. Tokyo

From West of Tokyo

I learnt several languages of East so far. Chinese, Korean and so forth.
I also learnt Buddhism and culture especially Central Asia.
The north of Central Asia exist The three Baltic Countries.
And at the North west of The Baltic exists Finland.

INAGAKI's this book is very fantastic for me.
She loves all the Finns so much.
This book is a really splendid autobiography of her youth lived and learnt in Finland.

Afterword From a far way off thinking 2021



Afterword
From a far way off thinking

後記

遠いおもいから華埜井香澄先生に関するこのささやかな論考を、たとえ未熟でもできるならば書いてみたいと思い立ったのはすでに数年前からであったが、昨年2020年夏に、どうしても書いてみたいとおもうに至った大きな契機となったのは、序でも述べたように、実弟でいらっしゃる華埜井究氏のお話しとお手紙に接したことによる。ご兄弟でなければ表わすことができない先生の生涯の大切な事実が、氏の短いことばの一つ一つから、先生みずからが話されているかように私に伝わってきたからである。一昨年2019年に突然お電話したことに始まり、ご多忙の中で、お手紙をいただき、また執筆への励ましまでいただいたことに、重ねて深く感謝を申し述べます。

2018年に論考を書きはじめたいとおもいたち、先生に関する資料を調べ始めたとき、半世紀前の個人資料を調べることは予想を超えて困難であった。昨年ふたたび思い立ったとき、先生が死去されるまで勤められた和光大学の、教学支援室、附属図書館等の方々が私の要望をこまかに聴いて下さり、 本務に多忙な中で、私のために倉庫・書庫等の資料を確認し、送付してくださった。私はこのとき、この論考の作成は、もはや私一人のものではないことを深く自覚した。華埜井先生の事績は、個人的な追憶を超えて、和光大学の方々にも、またそこに学ぶ若き学生の方々にも、大学草創期の一つの明確な記録となるのではないかと感ずるようになったからである。

丘の上の小さな実験大学が残した、草創期の先生方と学生、そしてそれらを支え援助した職員の方々すべての数知れない努力の蓄積は、学ぶことの尊さと、それを実現することがいかに困難であるかをすべての人に伝えるであろう。そしてそこからまたまったく新しい飛翔がなされるであろう。また私個人の半世紀を振りかえるとき、早逝した先生は、私にとってどのようなものであったかとみずからに問う。書き続けるうちにひとつだけはっきりとしたことは、先生の姿が私の青春と折り重なるように存在していたということであった。

一度も直接お話したことがなかった先生は、一面遠い存在であったことは確かだった。ただ八歳だけ年上の先生は、私にとって、当時はまったく未確定であった生涯の主題や研究、広くいえば学問全体に対する深いあこがれを、常に身近に具現しておられた存在として映っていたのでなかったか。フランスの語学と文学、そしてその底に沈む信仰。私の20代を魅了し続けたヨーロッパの近代。書くことecriture の方法と言語そのものの未知。華埜井先生の存在は、そのいずれにも深く係わっていたように今はおもわれる。私自身がそのころ、何ものをも持たなかったがゆえに、先生の静かで端正な姿から、一つの確立を、私には多分、年を経ても決してそのようにはなれないことを感じながらも、以後深い追憶として、存し続けたのではなかったか。

古希を過ぎ、今夏6月で74歳となる私にとって、華埜井先生は変わることなく、つねに若く、端正であった。人はときに、一見間接的であるように思われながら、深い意味を帯びた追憶をもつことがあることを、この論考によって少しでも伝えることができるならば、1966年にフランス文化使節として来日し、幸運にもそのテレビ放送を視聴できたフランスの哲学者ガブリエル・マルセル Gabriel Marcel 1889-1973 が1961年にハーバード大学で行った講演「人間の尊厳」で、「本質的な問いは、自分の生涯が、見慣れた風景のように背後に展開され、しばしば模索したり、偶然に左右されたりした過去の道程を回想できるようになったときに、個人的な形で、一人称でのみ初めて提出されうるものだといえると思います。」と述べているように、私は私の提出した問いに、答えることができたのでしょうか。

From author:
This text’s translation by Google translate is a little hard to be accurate at the present, especially on mathematical explanation. 


You can see the whole city from the library on the hill. The east side of the third floor is a computer room. The internet was always connected there, and I could use any table freely. I often spend my holidays near the window. A group of tall blue-green buildings rises to the northeast of the left side of the window. Seen from here on the hill, it is much higher. Only there is towering above the sky. Immediately south, there should be A’s home. Did the bulbul hit a tall building like that? The glass walls were distant and dull, reflecting the light of the autumn afternoon. 

When I was cleaning the room where the birds were gone for the first time in a while, I found some furrowed flock in the corner. The soft wings floated in the air for a while when released. Have you lived in the city because of your childhood? I wished that I was now resting slowly in the grove of the hills. A created Web pages and Dreamweaver, but since the amount has gradually increased, I switched to Expression Web from the middle. I used Office for documents at first, but soon I switched to Zoho.

In this way, I was able to quickly write small mathematical expressions using LaTex. When Backup was run automatically using SugarSync, all traces of A were on Cloud. The document was written in English. Regular sentences other than mathematical expressions are relatively easy to write with a limited vocabulary. This could lead to someone seeing somewhere. I had little hope, but there was little response. 

Of course, I thought it would be nice if there could be one or two people in this wide world who could sympathize with me, but that didn’t bother me that much. I just keep writing. There is no guarantee that there will be someone like John Pepody Harrington, who continued to record the American Indian languages. 1920 The photographs in the Smithsonian Institution’s collection, which are doing field research around the year, look somewhat like the pioneers of the West. It’s okay to wait quietly for the future of Harrington in the corner of the city. 

It was a fun task to think of a language containing time as a possibility using a model. However, in reality, it is rarely something that can be created, such as an original one. I couldn’t exceed the conventional idea. He arranged the work procedure little by little. First create a simple model. Select the shape suitable for the model. How much is the figure written? 

According to Kenji Fukaya, the geometry was “a group of groups and the space in which it acts”. It was Fukaya’s charm that he was able to briefly confirm and look at the fundamental things. By referring to Jacobson’s “semantic minimum”, a new geometric “minimum of meaning” is set, and the time t is included as a meaning by moving the time t in the closed interval. Defined the geometric word.

I repeated this direction many times with different levels of geometry. The universality of language was thought to be closely related to the invariant of mathematics. In Fukaya’s book, I learned that the quantum cohomology ring can be obtained from the Gromov-Witten invariant and the Gromov-Witten potential can be obtained. Language approached mathematics and physics. It has become possible to logically check the symmetry that has long been a concern. Under certain assumptions, the character of various languages can be inspected as a model from, for example, one figure or manifold. One of the centers was homological mirror symmetry, which was proposed by Kontsevich.

When I got tired of working in the library, I went out to the rooftop. The city, which spreads under the dark maroon autumn sky, conveyed the grandeur of human activities. The sounds of distant cities echo like a chord. Are people flying in this city as birds are flying in the sky? Just as birds sometimes crash into the ground by colliding with the turquoise glass of tall buildings, will people crash into the ground and crash somewhere?

 I once read a story about birds in the book Shorin no Fubun. “According to the poem of the 3rd year of the Emperor Hansho, a bird of five colours, it passes over the prefectures in which it belongs.” It seems that 10,000 birds of five colours flew in the sky. As for the beginning, I continue to cite Chinese books. According to the poem’s third year of honour, he gathered New Year’s lords, Otori, Emperor and Kanro to the Kyoto teacher, and according to the flock of birds, the findings of the Han book were true.

The contents of this Chinese book, in which 10,000 birds gathered in search of it, are true. It is unknown whether Shorin believed in these statements. However, according to Shorin’s habit, he might have believed it as a natural thing. 

Autumn flowers were dancing in the strolling garden on the roof of the library. White autumn Ming chrysanthemum, yellow Maru chrysanthemum, Nozoku chrysanthemum Soothing Hotogigisu and the white and white Arissum flowers crawling on the ground. Sky blue salvia, red cherry sage, purple rosemary and light blue basil. Dark blue Saintpaulia, white sapphinia, crimson geranium bowls and hanging. Huquera, Drachina consenna, Sansevieria houseplant. Spatti is also rich in green, and the red sea urchin is already red. Various sasanqua that began to inflate the buds, the last cosmos flowers that sway in the wind Winter clematis that has been quite tall, large leaves on the grape rack with few remaining, and a large red or white large ball swaying occasionally in the strong wind . 

If you look closely, you can also see the pink bokeh flowers that change the season. Shala beautifully turns red, and dogwood turns the leaves brown. On the other hand, rhododendrons had already inflated the buds considerably. Autumn was getting deeper. 

You can hear the sound of the city line riding on the wind. How is K doing? Well, let’s make a dedication to the document. For familiar days with K. I continued to write documents when I got home. The linguistic space including time gradually expanded from a straight line to a plane and from there to a sphere. Attracted by the work of Roger Penrose, I made a projective model. 

As I was thinking about it at midnight, I thought it would be beautiful if the language danced in the sky like an aurora. A complex plane is created by mapping all complex numbers to planes, as if all real numbers were mapped to straight lines. A complex number defined by two real numbers is placed on the plane as a language unit, and it is called a language point. Establish a vertical third coordinate axis from the origin of the plane and make a sphere with a unit radius centered on the origin. The spheres intersect at a radius of 1 on the new coordinate axes. If that point and a linguistic point on the complex plane are connected by a straight line, when the linguistic point has a distance of 1 or more, it intersects with the sphere at one point. When the distance is less than 1, the linguistic point is inside the sphere and does not intersect the sphere. 

This shows the limits of the language. Ordinary language points are projected on the spherical sky when the distance exceeds 1. The projection is called aurora. Language points at infinity converge on a sphere on the Z axis. You can capture an infinite number of languages in a finite way. A straight line connecting two points on the complex plane draws an arc in the spherical sky. The two straight lines form two arcs in the sky, and connecting four points creates a distorted quadrilateral in the sky. 

If we model the points in the sky as words, arcs as sentences, and quadrilaterals as sentences, the language will emerge there. The language becomes Aurora and dances in the sky. Language is aurora dancing above us.

Intuition and Mathematics

What NISHI Junzo remained for us 2


TANAKA Akio                                    

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 taken up using mathematics especially of geometry. 

But at the deepest basis of language, time is seemed to be infinitive but not spread with 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.

Verse Recalled  


Pond


RI Kohr

 



 

Late that night

We continued talking under the dim light

The plateaus we passed through, the long mountain foothills

The mountains we crossed, that miraculous pond

 

Tomorrow we will descend the mountain and our daily lives will begin again

All will disappear into the dust of the city

Nevertheless
  

Something that cannot be erased

The Unending Future

The days were colourful 

 

This year

Once again, after more than a generation 

The aim was to reach that blue pond 

I stopped at a shop that didn't exist before


At the widow
 The fleeting 
summer flowers of the mountains  
    were spreading in full bloom

 

My beloved 
 Time

The time has come

Appears in pairs

Now becomes
    A word to you

Just a word

Just to receive a word

Singlemindedly

you have been waiting for ever

Under the Dim Light



TANAKA Akio


I frequently talked with CHINO Eiichi at the coffee shop near the station we used to get on. The shop was at the second floor and the steps upstairs always sounded squeaking. Under the dim light the topics of conversation was on language or linguistics after all. He was already the university professor but I was a poor research student. But he was always showed me the general tenderness.

The subject he gave me were impressive and useful for me, in which the most important is the history of the Linguistic Circle of Prague and the excellent pioneers of language study. He had of course the unique approach to the study but I had never any conspicuous one except boundless interest on the study.

In his wide and precious telling for me I gradually determined my course to proceed. It was the making of basic and radical foundation on natural language by searching the structure of language through simple and clear description. For keeping this difficult aim I had a decision that there was only way to use mathematics that I had abandoned at the past for its hardness.

In my age 20s, I had read Ludwig Wittgenstein and Nicolas Bourbaki in concentrating. I did not clearly understand Wittgenstein’s approach. But I borrowed his writing style that was simple and clear. So my early work’s descriptions were nearly at him. But I decided that I never adopted strongly-intuitive thinking.

I always considered mathematical basis or analogy. My aim was the independence from the intuitive description. Keeping on this course, there was seen the mathematical basis that I must adopt the model in which language universals are clearly described. I entered to the mathematical description of study that was confirmed premises of my way.

Abstract from The letter to O. again


TANAKA Akio

In your letter, you wrote that you would read the books comfortably not selling the old books of your work. I have also felt the same feeling so I bought Development of the modern poems written by ANDO Tsuguo who was the fine teacher of literature at the university and I once went to his home thinking to hear his intimate voice on poem and literature. He was one of the most typical poet and critic in the present age of Japan.

And now I would want to read KIYOOKA Takayuki's collected poems, that was ever read in my youth.

In autumn 1970 I was the senior of university, when the next spring I would graduate, I met with the thick French binding KIYOOKA's collected poems at the well drop-in bookshop of Hachioji, Tokyo. At that time I could not yet find my whole life object of learning.

In his book, I read a long poem titled "at the campus of university" in which he wrote that he meets with the whole life object of learning as he meets with his beloved person in his life.

The next spring 1971 I graduated the university, when I could not find any object at the campus while I ruminated KIYOOKA's stanza.

What I really met with my whole life object was already entered in the 21 century at my age 56 in 2003 after much trial and error. It was language universals that was ever taught from CHINO Eiichi who was the real life time teacher of mine and the successor of the Linguistic Circle of Prague, who spent 7 year study at Prague.

Sergej Karcevskij gave me the great hint of approach to language universals through the famous paper titled "Du Dualisme asymétrique du signe linguistique" 1929.

In 2003 I wrote a paper titled " Quantum Theory for Language" after some trial papers, " On Time Property Inherent in Characters", " Manuscript of Quantum Theory for Language".
In 2004 I wrote two attached papers, " Distance Theory" and "Reversion Theory".

The proper papers' URL is the next.

After the suggestion of CHINO, I have tried the very hard road of writing style using mathematical base assisted from many contemporary mathematician works,especially at the field of algebraic geometry.

The paper " Quantum Theory for Language" was selected one of the 4 oral presentations of the linguistic field of a international symposium focused on the Silk Road.
On Karcevskij and CHINO I wrote a tiny paper, " Prague in 1920" which was dedicated the two as a token of my cordially gratitude.

On Time Property Inherent in Characters 2003-2005

 

 


On Time Property Inherent in Characters 

 
TANAKA Akio 


Here I will try to consider on the generation and the function of characters that have been used in Chinese which is classified to isolating language in linguistic typology.

Concerning the early forms of characters, we can verify them by the ancient inscriptions on bone and tortoiseshell that were discovered at /Yinxu/ and so forth. At the first stage that is usually classified to five on the inscriptions, they already displayed the inceptive completion, from where it is very difficult to speculate the beginning shapes of characters. On vocabulary and syntax, inscriptions displayed the almost same inceptive completion. Here what is inceptive completion is meant that comprehension or speculation is practicable by the usage of modern Chinese. Therefore the generation and the function of characters are subsidiary after the inscriptions. On the situation of forming the inscriptions namely explanation to decipher inscriptions, many researches are accumulated. Here, in these researches, I proceed with consideration claiming the works of after 1990 in main.

1 Generation of characters

When we see the inscription of character /yu/ that means bringing up in English, it is impossible to doubt that this inscription shows the situation of childbirth time by woman. In this inscription the situation of childbirth is shown by three stages. First there is a figure in which woman is going to give birth to a baby crossing both arms at the front of her chest. She takes a bent-forward posture, sticks her buttocks out and bend her knees gently. Second the situation of what the waters break is shown by the signs similar to dotted lines. Third at central or under part of the waters, a new born baby is shown in the shape of baby’s head inverted. Through three factors illustrated in the inscription, character /yu/ is clearly expressed the situation of childbirth time and the immediately after the birth time.

When we see the inscription of character /yan/ that means language or speak in English, the form of the inscription is simplified or transformed considerably at the first stage of classification on inscriptions. So the explanation to decipher inscriptions is developed variously. Here I will show one interpretation including the result of Chinese archaeology in recent years. A form of character /yan/ is able to see the three parts that are upper, middle and under. According to the result of Chinese archaeology, the upper part is regarded as the tongue’s point of a bronze bell used at meeting in /Yin/ period. The central part of character /yan/ is the body of a tongue. The under part of character /yan/ is regarded to be the outside of a bell. In /Yin/ period, at the time to let the meeting begin, the bronze-like bell was ringed loudly to let the people connected to know. When the meeting was opened, the bell was inferred to put up side down on a table. That is to say, the main body of a bell is inferred to be putted up side down and the tongue of a bell is inferred to be putted upward on the form of bell’s setting. This setting of a bell is shaped regarded to become the character’s form of inscription of on bone and tortoiseshell.   According to this interpretation of the inscription, /yan/ can be said to show the situation of post-notification of a meeting in /Yin/ period.

Therefore the figuration of the reversed bell was regarded to become the inscription of character /yan/.

   When we see the inscription of character /geng/ that means to cross in English, we comprehend that the inscription shows the two parallel lines in which a bow pattern is included. WANG Guowei†0 regarded that this inscription is as same as the character /heng/ that means permanent or lasting in English. Now I follow his interpretation. He wrote in his paper that two up-and-down lines are both banks of a river and inner bow shaped figure is a ship which goes and returns between the banks†1. According to this interpretation, /geng/ or /heng/ shows the operations of crossing a river, that operations are permanently repeated in an identical space†1.

From the inscriptions of three characters of /yu/, /yan/ and /geng/, now we can induce or infer the following.

First, Inscriptions which are original shapes of characters, in some cases, have a proceeding time in characters themselves. That is to say, as for character /yu/, that means the time of childbirth, from beginning to end. As for character /yan/, that means the time of meeting, from announcement to being open. As for character /heng/, that means the proceeding time of crossing the river by ferry.

Second, on the inscriptions, several aspects of the various phenomena which occur on the proceeding time in characters are sometimes shown by the images or implications. As for character /yu/, remarkable aspects’ figures are bending mother’s body, amniotic fluid and new born baby†2. As for character /yan/, the one remarkable is the bell which is set in the upside down condition, which means the announcement of meeting which was already opened a few minutes ago. The other remarkable is the same bell which is set on the table in the upside down condition, which means the meeting is now going†3. As for character /heng/, remarkable aspects are both banks and a ferry boat.

Third, on the inscriptions, several aspects, which are shown by the remarkable figures, transmit the messages. As for character /yu/, babybirth from mother’s body, the situation of birth time and new baby appeared in this world are transmitted simultaneously by the one character /yu/. As for character /yan/, transmitting is announcement of meeting, opening of meeting and contents of being discussed by the meeting. As for character /heng/, work of crossing the river, reach the opposite bank of the river and repetitions of these works, namely, constancy are transmitted for the information.

Therefore from the induction or inference on the generation of character’s meaning above mentioned, the following function of characters is led for us.

2 Function of characters

   First, the time-proceeding aspect being inhered in every character has the strong tendency toward the most distinctive information of the real world. As for character /yu/, while woman is giving birth to a baby, the most distinctive information is the figure of mother’s body bending, and after birth, the existence of a new baby becomes the most distinctive information†2. The various grammatical functions of one character are generated from the time proceeding and successive phenomena of distinctive aspects in the real world.

As for character /yu/, at the birth time, verbal aspect of giving birth is emphasized, but after birth nounal aspect of a new born baby oneself is emphasized. As for character /yan/, before the meeting verbal aspect of telling the opening is the most important thing, but while being opened or after the meeting the nounal aspect of speaking content of the meeting is the most valuable thing†3.       

Second, when two or over two characters are connected, every character wants to emphasizes selecting one distinctive aspect inherent in oneself, and want to connect to the other character or characters. Because if two or over two aspects is transmitted, there will appear the non-clearness in the information. As for character /yu/, connection with character /sheng/ (which means grow in English), namely /sheng yu/, in this situation /yu/ means give birth to in English. Connection with /cai/ (which means a person of talent in English), namely /yu cai/, in this situation /yu/ means educate in English. That is to say, character /yu/ has two phases of meanings. One is concerned with the situation of child-birth of mother’s body. The other is concerned with the situation of a person that is already growing.

Third, every character has several aspects of inherent time inclination. When there is a connection of two characters, each character has the choosing operation from the several meanings in the character. Two or over two characters generate a new meaning complex by the operations of choosing the most precedent meaning in the each. This complex can maintain the new clearness of information on the connection of characters which have many branches of meanings in total.

For example, from above mentioned characters /yu/, /yan/ and /heng/, when two characters /heng/ and /yan/ are connected to one word /heng yan/, /heng/ chooses the meaning constant in English and /yan/ chooses the meaning utterance in English. New meaning complex is the expression by the stable person. This /heng yan/ appears in the Chinese classic Mengzi by the complex meaning.  

Then, when every individual character does selectivity of aspects, what functions does work in the characters? On the other hand, when two or over two characters connect by the choosing the most precedent meaning respectively, what functions does work out of the characters?

3 Self selectivity of function on character 

Now I examine the situation of what two or over two characters connect and generate the new aspect complex. For instance, I adopt above mentioned characters connection word /heng yan/.

In the first place, /yan heng/, which is a reverse disposition of /heng yan/, is examined. This characters disposition is not notified as the one word generally in the Chinese. This characters set is usually recognized as a sentence. The meaning is <The utterance is eternal.> in English. That is to say, this characters set does not generate new aspect complex and two aspects of every individual character form in a line. Why this divergence, namely generating word or sentence, occurs in the characters disposition?

Here I infer that< time property inherent in characters> is worked. Detailed inference is mentioned below.

On <time inherent in characters>, time has various longitudes, from short to long. As the case stands that two times in two characters touch in succession and the former character’ time is longer than the latter character’ time, these two characters connect tightly and generate a new aspect complex. But on the reverse situation, that is to say, the former character has shorter time than the latter character, these two characters have the difficulty to generate a new aspect complex, every individual character has a tendency to stand alone each other.

As for characters connection /heng yan/, character /heng/ has <an eternally long time> inherent, on the other hand, character /yan/ has <a temporary short time>. Like this connection of characters that the former is long time inherent and the latter is short time inherent, a new aspect complex is generated in principle.

Therefore characters /heng yan/ become one word and characters /yan heng/ become one sentence which is constituted from the two characters.

That is to say, on Chinese language that is classified to isolating language in linguistic typology, for there are no phenomena of declension, the main them of the grammatical functions is the break of words, namely characters, and the selection of parts of speech.

On the decision of grammatical functions, now I institute two conceptions for language. One is <time inherent in characters>. The other is <self selectivity of aspects on the combination of characters>.

<Time inherent in characters> is above mentioned. <Self selectivity of aspects> is also above mentioned. Say over again, when time inherent in the successive character is shorter than the former character’s, two characters are composed and become one word. But the latter is longer than the former; two characters are not composed and become one sentence.

As a result, there become two divergences. One is the generation of a new aspect complex. The other is succession of two individual aspects. The former become a word. The latter become a sentence.

This distinction leads a new view for the generation of lexis and the structure of syntax. Time inherent in characters is examined by the property of characters, especially by the inscriptions on bone and tortoiseshell in ancient China. Therefore <self selectivity of aspects on the combination of characters> is a hypothesis in the present stages.

4 Time principle on language

 Generally, recognition of word or structure of meaning on word, which is estimated one of the most important themes on linguistics, is extremely difficult to examine for long time. For the examination of the theme, now I chose the inscriptions on ancient China. These inscriptions are the most effective materials for analysing the structure of meaning on language. Then, one of the most effective means is to verify <Time inherent in characters> and <Self selectivity of aspects on the combination of characters>. Now I collectively call these two factors as <Time principle on language>.

Quanta of Language are classified into two types.
One is actual quanta of language. These quanta have actual distance from the real world. These quanta consist of actual language.
Details see the paper “Distance Theory”.
The other is imaginary quanta of language. These quanta have imaginary distance from the real world.
Details see the paper “Mirror Theory” and “Mirror Language”.

Typical actual language is the language of cooking.
We see the cooking recipe for making delicious dishes.
4
Typical imaginary language is the language of religion.
We pray the absolute being for our happiness.
5
Actual language and imaginary language are made contrast with actual number and imaginary number on mathematics. 
6
Actual and imaginary quanta are separated from the real world and place to a certain point of language world. They will always leave for the real world. This tendency guarantees all the languages ultimate credibility.
Details see the paper “Guarantee of Language”.
7
Quantum of language sends messages to the next Quantum. In this situation the former Quantum moves toward the next quantum by the tendency of language. As the result, two quanta can posses the proper relation under the stable circumstance.
Two quanta are complied with the rules, especially < connection rule> and <separation rule>.
Then word and sentence are generated. At last the standstill of sentence emerges from the language world to the real world. Language separation from the real world ends in our world.
Details see the paper “Quantum Theory for Language Synopsis”.
8
The contact of two quanta occurs from the former quantum.
The first occurrence of movement starts by the tendency of reversion to the real world being immanent in language.
This tendency is called <reversion principle of language>.
This principle is the basis for the guarantee of language.
9
Imaginary language has not clearly correspondence to the real world.
For example the absolute being is not corresponded to the real world.
Generally we only confirm the course of gazing into the absoluteness.
This course has a distance from the real world as if the image in a mirror has a distance from the surface of the mirror.
It is called< imaginary distance>.
So we have two distances in the language world.
One is <actual distance>. The other is <imaginary distance>.
In this situation <principle of reversion> is regarded as being worked.
10
Now the religious language, for instance, various words of prayer has a clear step to the linguistic inspection.
11
This is a little try to bridge between linguistics and anthropology.
