表現欲を書きたてる

疲れて帰宅して,あまり頭が回らずにメールを書いてたら,友人への返信に「その人は,若いシュッとしたイケメン風の方ですか?」みたいな返信を書いて,そのまま送っていました.受け取った方は情報量の低さに困惑するだろうとメールを読み直して反省したのですが,疲れていると表現力が落ちると実感しました.そんな言葉を雑に使っているエピソードに矛盾するようですが,私は概して言葉が好きで,文章を書くのも好きです.外国語が好きですし,日本語に限っても,Blogを書いたり,Facebookなどで諧謔を弄することがありますが,日本語で表現することや,日本語で表現されるものが好きなのだと思います.

私の日本語は少しクセがあると思っています.自己分析によると,読み手の前提に関わらず同じ理解をして欲しいと思うために,理屈っぽく,やや冗長で, self-contained な文章を書きたがる傾向がある気がします.以前日本人の先輩に就職活動用の日本語を直してもらった際には,とりわけ簡潔さなどにおいて,自分の文章との違いが明確になったと感じたことがありました.

他にも自分の言語能力が弱い部分を自覚しており,特に風景や外貌を言語で描写する能力が弱いと感じています.以前友人に指摘されたのは,私がきれいな女性を形容する時に使用する語彙に「素敵な」以外のバリエーションがない,ということでした.まあこれは友人の話の起伏上,誇張もあるでしょうが,大まかな傾向としては自己分析に合致しています.男性に対してはもう少し雑になっており,「イケメンの」「シュッとした」を未定義で使用して,それ以上に細分化された語彙がありません.それら2つの言葉はほぼ同じものを指すので「モレあり,カブリあり」(Mutually Overlapping, Collectively Overlooking; MOCO) のモーソーになっています.仮に私が「今度シュッとしたイケメンを紹介するよ」と言ったら「今度,男性,つまり男の人を紹介するよ」くらいの意味に理解頂ければ,後々がっかりすることはないでしょう.

まとめると私は,男性,女性,動物,微生物なども含め,外見を的確に表現する形容詞や表現力に乏しいです.一方で感情の描写や思考の記述などに関しては(やや冗長になることは否めないですが)さほど表現力が不足しているとは思いません.なので,これはそもそも表現欲をかきたてる対象が自分にとって何か,という根本的な価値観に由来する問題なのかもしれません.自分でもよくわかっていないのですが,もしかしたら,外貌や風景は視覚で補えるので言葉で表現する面白さを感じないが,感情とか考えなど目に見えないことについては,言葉を紡いで表現する面白さがある(だから,それはする),という価値観を持っているのかもしれないと思いました.同様に,味覚や嗅覚で補えることを言葉で描写することにも,考えてみたらあまり興味がないかもしれません.確かに,何々がどのように美味しいとか,その類の表現もあまり得意ではありません.

とは言いつつも,表現力と感受性には密接な関係があり,感受性が豊かになると人生がより豊かになるという仮説の下,少しずつ意識して表現力や語彙を増やしていきたいとも思っています.女性の美しさを太陽や月になぞらえる力や,ワインを一口飲んで草原と風について1分話す力です.どうしたらそのような力が向上するものでしょうか.

発散しますが,そもそも「表現すること」と「感じること」にはどのような関係にあるのでしょうか.感じられるから表現できるのか,表現できるから感じられるのか,どちらなんでしょう.そして,前述のようにそもそも「表現する必要性」があるか(あるいは「感じる必要性」があるか)が考えるべき問いなのかも.そういえば,イヌイットには「雪」を表す表現がたくさんある,何故なら雪の状態を適切に伝えることは生死に関わる大事なことだから,みたいな話を聞いたことがあります.結局のところ,必要性があるからこそ,表現が洗練されるのでしょうか.

最後は発散しましたが,総括としては,言葉を雑に使わず,感受性豊かな人生を送りたいものですね.(ややいい加減なまとめですいません.素敵な人生を!)

PS.そしてさらに言うなら,タイトルの「書きたてる」は,掛け言葉だったんですが,内容がいつの間にか「書くこと」から「表現すること」に変わっていました.ただの誤字としか思われなさそうなので,ここに追記しておきます.

  5. Appreciating the hard work you put into your blog and detailed information you
    offer. It's nice to come across a blog every once in a while that isn't the same
    outdated rehashed information. Fantastic read! I've saved your site and
    I'm including your RSS feeds to my Google account.

  6. I don't even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
    I do not know who you are but certainly you are going to
    a famous blogger if you are not already 😉 Cheers!

  7. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it
    seems as though you relied on the video to make your point.
    You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to
    your weblog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

  8. When I initially commented I clicked the "Notify me when new comments are added" checkbox and now each
    time a comment is added I get four e-mails with the same comment.
    Is there any way you can remove people from that service?
    Thanks a lot!

  9. Undeniably consider that that you stated. Your
    favourite reason seemed to be on the web the easiest thing to take note of.
    I say to you, I definitely get irked whilst folks consider issues that they plainly don't realize
    about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and outlined out the entire thing with
    no need side-effects , folks could take a signal. Will probably be back to get more.

    Thanks

  12. Neural Network Draws Dogs: Unleashing the Artistic Potential of AI

    Introduction

    In recent years, the field of artificial intelligence has witnessed tremendous advancements in image generation, thanks to the application of neural networks. Among these marvels is the remarkable ability of neural networks to draw dogs and create stunningly realistic artwork. This article delves into the fascinating world of how neural networks, specifically Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (DCGANs), are employed to generate awe-inspiring images of our four-legged friends.

    The Power of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

    Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) are a class of artificial intelligence models consisting of two neural networks - the generator and the discriminator. The generator is responsible for creating images, while the discriminator's role is to distinguish between real and generated images. The two networks are pitted against each other in a "game," where the generator aims to produce realistic images that can fool the discriminator, while the discriminator endeavors to become more adept at recognizing real images from the generated ones.

  13. The Future of Artificial Intelligence: Beauty and Possibilities

    In the coming decades, there will be a time when artificial intelligence will create stunning ladies using a printer developed by scientists working with DNA technologies, artificial insemination, and cloning. The beauty of these ladies will be unimaginable, allowing each individual to fulfill their cherished dreams and create their ideal life partner.

    Advancements in artificial intelligence and biotechnology over the past decades have had a profound impact on our lives. Each day, we witness new discoveries and revolutionary technologies that challenge our understanding of the world and ourselves. One such awe-inspiring achievement of humanity is the ability to create artificial beings, including beautifully crafted women.

    The key to this new era lies in artificial intelligence (AI), which already demonstrates incredible capabilities in various aspects of our lives. Using deep neural networks and machine learning algorithms, AI can process and analyze vast amounts of data, enabling it to create entirely new things.

    To develop a printer capable of "printing" women, scientists had to combine DNA-editing technologies, artificial insemination, and cloning methods. Thanks to these innovative techniques, it became possible to create human replicas with entirely new characteristics, including breathtaking beauty.
