My translation project (update)

(2018/08/06) I could manage to finish translating Ueno (2016) into English. It is still an incomplete first version (so far 85,000 words, approx. 300 pages) so that I have to ask the visitor of this webpage to wait some more time. The thing is that this translation was more challenging than I originally thought for the following three reasons; (1) romanized transliteration from Japanese required my own deep understanding of the ambiguous notion "word", (2) Yoshio touched on so many issues that had not been treated well in the literature and advanced numerous ingenious analyses with full of original factual observations, and finally (3) university administration too often kept me from working on this project..(change our school name? seriously?)
