Oscar Wilde observes in "The Decay of Lying" that life imitates art rather than art imitates life. Akutagawa Ryunosuke was interested in Wilde. He made the protagonist of an autobiographical work wish to catch an aerial spark even at the risk of his life. Wilde and Akutagawa tended to attach more importance to fictitious worlds than the reality. William Faulkner was influenced by Wilde. A character in his novel named Faulkner declares that he is a liar by profession. Joe Christmas in Faulkner's Light in August finishes his life feeling unsure of his relationship to white and black people as he thinks he may be part Negro. He is lynched after many years of violent disobedience. According to Akutagawa, Christ is likely to be bound by the Holy Spirit as an eternal seeker of transcendence. Joe seems to be a powerless Christ vainly striving to get over something. Akutagawa compared artists to climbers and confessed his yearning for the foot of the mountain he was ascending. He called Christ an ultra idiot who kept fighting for poetic justice. This is presumably Akutagawa's reflection on his own fantastic mentality. Wilde was also conscious of a connection between Christ and artists. It may be that artists' passion leads them to ordeals just as Christ's life led him to be crucified. The Picture of Dorian Gray by Wilde is a story of a man who kills himself by means of stabbing his portrait. Likewise Akutagawa was distressed by his shadow and feared that his death might come to his second self. After he committed suicide, a writer lamented that he made a short romance of his life. Sherwood Anderson, who found an excess of talent in Faulkner, warned that he might not write anything because he could write in too many ways. He advised Faulkner to have somewhere to start from and Faulkner wrote a magnificent series of novels with his birthplace as its model. Wilde spent two years in jail on the charge of his homosexual love. Wilde and Akutagawa were tremendously talented. Readers must grieve that Akutagawa did not try to live and write further. As for Wilde, they may ask if he could show his uniqueness only through his fiction. Wilde and Akutagawa, in a sense, never attained their proper starting points from which they could set to work and fully demonstrate their abilities.

William Faulkner told two different stories alternately in The Wild Palms. In one of them an intern falls in love with a married woman who becomes pregnant and asks him to perform an abortion. After she dies because of the operation, he is determined to serve his fifty-year sentence remembering her. The End of the World and Hard-boiled Wonderland by Murakami Haruki is similar to The Wild Palms structurally and thematically. An engineer in "Hard-boiled Wonderland" has a specific circuit installed in his brain by a scientist. The data is stolen and the engineer's consciousness is about to be extinguished. Then the scientist's granddaughter declares that he will remain in her heart as long as she lives. The protagonist of "The End of the World" lives in a town separated from his shadow. Though he has lost his memory, he is presumably in the situation imagined by the engineer. He plans to escape, but finally lets the shadow go alone, saying that he cannot abandon a world he created. Both Faulkner and Murakami cherish or rely upon the memories of what has vanished. In "The Bear" Faulkner dramatically depicts the wilderness as the hunters' utopia that is being destroyed by civilization. Murakami's "Firefly" deals with a young man's longing for a girl who leaves him after their intercourse. Murakami makes a character of Dance, Dance, Dance warn the narrator to go on dancing without doubting how foolish it is. This may be the author's critical view of mechanized and high-speed society in which people are deprived of profound thinking. Sheep Expert in his Adventuring after a Sheep observes that Japan was destined to be defeated in World War II because there have been no thoughts based on life. Faulkner wrote an essay, "To the Youth of Japan." He mentioned his belief that in Japan out of the disaster and despair after World War II there would appear writers who would speak not a Japanese truth but a universal truth. Murakami is certainly among such writers. Readers should notice his pursuit of human ego in the midst of complicated circumstances.

本発表では,文脈自由文法に対するボトムアップ型構文解析アルゴリズムのカテゴリ理論に基づく導出を行う.カテゴリ理論は,問題の本質的な部分を自然に記述できるため,高水準の使用記述や仕様変換に適している.このためカテゴリを用いた仕様記述も行われているが,それらはデータ構造の記述が中心であり,データを扱う制御構造に対する記述はあまり行われていない.そこで本発表では制御構造に対する仕様記述の例として,文脈自由文法に対するボトムアップ型構文解析アルゴリズムをカテゴリ理論に基づいて導出する.文脈自由文法に対する構文解析は実際的な問題であり,これまで多くのアルゴリズムが提案されてきたが,仕様記述という点からは論理式(集合論)に基づく検討以外はあまり行われていなかった.本発表では,構文解析アルゴリズムをカテゴリ理論によって導出することにより,論理式による導出との比較を行う.本発表では,文脈自由文法の構文記号や構文規則などを対象とし,それらの間の射から,最左導出の逆としてボトムアップ型構文解析アルゴリズムを導出する.さらに,対象となる文法をLR 文法に限定した場合に,このアルゴリズムがどのように簡略化されるか(LR 構文解析アルゴリズムに帰着されるか)を述べる.In this presentation, I derive bottom up parsing algorithms for context free grammars by categorical approach. For a context free grammar G, I consider a category whose objects are symbols and rules of G. From this category, I derive bottom up parsing algorithms for G by categorical operations. I also show how this algorithms are reduced to the LR parsing algorithm if G is an LR grammar. Finally I compare this categorical approach for derivation of parsing algorithms with a set theoretic (logical) approach.
