かなの靈

岡田一祐と言います。北海道で平仮名史の研究をしてゐます。

I am a graduate student who lives in Hokkaido, Japan. My research interests are on the Japanese writing systems and Historical Japanese linguistics. I have comitted to TwiFULL Sapporo Linguistics Meeting and Wikimedians of Hokkaido. As a linguistics student, I am especially interested in writing systems, phonology, pragmatics and a history of studies of language. I have learned some languages: Classical Japanese, English and Latin. I also love music (Western Classics: Debussy and Satie, J-pop: aiko, My Little Lover, Dreams come true, Kiroro, etc.), literature (Kawakami Hiromi, Ikezawa Natsuki, Yoshida Ken-ichi, Kanai Mieko and of course LotR!).

The title of this blog literally means “[the] spirit of Kana script.” It comes from the beginning of the short story, Moji-ka (Plague of the Writing), written by Nakajima Atsushi: “Is there the spirit of the writing, or not?”
