| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The study starts from the assumption that ‘subjective (i.e. subject-object merger type of) construal’ is Japanese speakers’ ‘fashion of speaking’, explores the range and varieties of expressivity manifested in verbal and visual arts as well as in language use and considers to what extent ‘homology’ can be posited across different cultural areas. Already in ancient times, speakers are observed to take the image of a scene before their eyes as a ‘sign’ for something not in their presence or to superimpose the image in their mind’s eye on the image of the scene before their eyes – a disposition which they later developed into a device of ‘mitate’ applied across various cultural areas. At their mutually interactive level, they also developed a ‘habitus’ of corresponding mutually mind-to-mind empathetically through the visual images they were supposed to share. We have so far ascertained that something analogous is hardly attested with Chinese speakers.
