| Abstract(in English) | At the end of the 18^ | century, William Jones discovered close resemblance of Sanskrit, the language of archaic Buddhism documents, to Classic Greek and Old Latin, and postulated a proto-language uniting these languages. Since the oldest of these three languages, Sanskrit, is of head-final word-order, their proto-language was also of head-fmal one. Katsumi Matsumoto's book "View to the World Languages" (Sanseido) precisely describes the historical word-order reversion process over thousands of years which brought the proto-language to the modem European languages. On the other hand, archaic bones with characters carved on them were discovered in China at the end of the 19th century. By examining these carved Chinese sentences, Mantaro Hashimoto discovered that the Chinese language word-order has been turning historically from head-initial to head-final, which is exactly in the opposite direction to those of European languages. We explain below the reason why these historical word-order reversion processes occur, based on the strong interaction between head-initial/head-fmal syntactic order and zoom-in/zoom-out cognition type, which the author derived in 2012 from the analysis of elementary mathematics education practices. Various concrete examples will be presented. |
