Fortuitous Meeting
What
CHINO Eiichi
Taught Me in the Class of Linguistics
CHINO taught me the core of linguistics in
the class of structural linguistics.
The most
remarkable thing is what he explained the paper of
KARCEVSKIJ to us.
The title is “Du
dualisme asymétrique du signe linguistique”. It was a miracle of my life.
One is firm
structure. The other is flexible variability.
This is a
revelation.
I selected the
firmness of language.
It overlapped with
the research of Chinese characters.
Thought of
KARCEVSKIJ
fructified the quantum of language.
The theory I
reached is
Quantum Theory for Language.
The starting point
of the theory was given from
CHINO.
I deeply
appreciate him for teaching me almost all the things on language.
CHINO Eiich
