Sergej Karcevskij declared a conjecture for language's asymmetric structure on the TCLP of the Linguistic Circle of Prague in 1928. I briefly wrote about the conjecture as the following.

Prague in 1920s, The Linguistic Circle of Prague and Sergej Karcevskij's paper "Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique"
From Print 2012, Chapter 18
Non-symmetry. It was the very theme that I repeatedly talked on with C. Prague in 1920s. Karcevskij's paper "Du dualisme asymetrique du signe linguistique" that appeared in the magazine TCLP. Absolutely contradicted coexistence between flexibility and solidity, which language keeps on maintaining, by which language continues existing as language. Still now there will exist the everlasting dual contradiction in language. Why can language stay in such solid and such flexible condition like that. Karcevskij proposed the duality that is seemed to be almost absolute contradiction. Sergej Karcevskij's best of papers, for whom C called as the only genius in his last years' book Janua Linguisticae reserata 1994.

In this Tale, Print 2012, C is CHINO Eiichi who was the very teacher in my life, taught me almost all the heritage of modern linguistics. I first met him in 1969 at university's his Russian class as a student knowing nothing on language study.

This asymmetric duality of linguistic sign presented by Karcevskij has become the prime mover for my study from the latter half of the 20th century being led by my teacher CHINO Eiichi.
But the theme was very hard even to find a clue. The turning point visited after I again learnt mathematics especially algebraic geometry in 1980s.
In 2009 I successively wrote the trial papers of the theme assisted by several results of contemporary mathematics. The papers are the following.
