[Machine Translation] Combining Makes Differentiation Possible! The main contents of this study, entitled "Differentiation Theory," include an analysis of noun modification, nominal predicates, the relationship between subordinate and main clauses, and some of their interrelationships. While the relationship between noun modification and nominal predicate sentences is easy to imagine, the relationship between subordinate and main clauses may seem remote. What connects them is the conceptualization that structure is based on the principle of differentiation. While this is something that has been gleaned in the study of noun modification and is obviously closely related to noun predicate sentences and easily extended to sentences in general, it may come as a surprise that it extends to the relationship between subordinate and main clauses. But it is necessary at all costs to solve one of the mysteries of this relationship. -What becomes clear is the paradoxical appearance of language, in which the combination of elements is directly differentiated from the differentiation of elements.

結合が分化を実現する!?「分化論」と名付けたこの研究は主要な内容として名詞修飾、名詞述語文、従属節と主節の関係、これらに関わり合いを持ついくつかの事柄の分析などを含んでいる。名詞修飾と名詞述語文の関連は想像しやすいが、従属節と主節の関係は縁遠く見えるだろう。これらをつなぐのが、構造が分化を原理とするという概念化である。名詞修飾の研究の中で得られたもので、名詞述語文に密接なかかわりを持つのは明らかで文全般にも容易に拡張されるが、従属節と主節の間の関係にまで及ぶというのは驚きかもしれない。しかし、それはこの関係の一つの謎を解決するために何としても必要なのである。―序章より―明らかになるのは、要素の結合はそのまま分化となるという逆説的な言語の姿である。
