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.

  1. Awesome website you have here but I was curious about if you knew of any forums that cover the same topics
    talked about in this article? I'd really love to be a part of community where I can get opinions from other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
    If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Bless you!

  2. I was wondering if you ever considered changing the
    page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
    connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or two images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  3. I've been surfing online more than 3 hours today, yet I
    never found any interesting article like yours. It is pretty worth enough for me.
    In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made good content as you did,
    the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.

    have discovered It absolutely useful and it has helped me out loads.

    of the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure
    why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two
    different browsers and both show the same results.

  6. Hello there! This article could not be written any better!

    a good read. Thank you for sharing!

  8. My brother recommended I would possibly like this web site.
    He used to be totally right. This put up truly made my day.
    You can not consider just how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thank you!

  9. Today, I went to the beachfront with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave
    it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off
    topic but I had to tell someone!

  10. I seriously love your blog.. Very nice colors & theme. Did you create
    this web site yourself? Please reply back as I'm planning to create my very own site and
    would like to know where you got this from or exactly what the theme is called.
    Cheers!

  11. Do you mind if I quote a few of your articles as long as I provide credit and sources
    back to your webpage? My website is in the very same area of
    interest as yours and my visitors would truly benefit from a lot of
    the information you present here. Please let me know if this
    alright with you. Thanks a lot!

  12. May I simply say what a relief to discover somebody that really understands what they are discussing
    on the net. You definitely understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    More people should check this out and understand this side of
    your story. It's surprising you aren't more popular because you
    definitely have the gift.

  13. Aw, this was a very good post. Spending some time and actual effort to generate a great article…
    but what can I say… I put things off a whole lot and never manage to get nearly anything
    done.

  14. Howdy! I understand this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to ask.

    Does operating a well-established website such as yours require a
    massive amount work? I am brand new to operating a blog however I do write in my
    diary daily. I'd like to start a blog so I can share my own experience and views online.

    Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for new aspiring bloggers.
    Appreciate it!

  16. Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot about this, like you wrote the e book in it or something.
    I believe that you could do with some percent to power the message house a little bit, but instead of that, this is wonderful blog.
    An excellent read. I will definitely be back.

  17. Hello there! This post could not be written any better!

    Reading this post reminds me of my old room mate! He always kept
    chatting about this. I will forward this write-up to him.
    Fairly certain he will have a good read. Thanks for sharing!

  18. You really make it appear really easy together with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something
    that I feel I would by no means understand. It kind
    of feels too complicated and extremely wide for me.
    I am having a look forward on your subsequent publish, I will try to get the grasp of
    it!

  19. Excellent goods from you, man. I've understand your stuff previous to and
    you are just extremely wonderful. I actually like what you've acquired here, really like
    what you are saying and the way in which you say it. You make it enjoyable and you still take care of to keep it smart.

    I cant wait to read far more from you. This is actually a wonderful web
    site.

  20. Does your website have a contact page? I'm having trouble locating it but,
    I'd like to send you an e-mail. I've got some recommendations for your blog you might be interested in hearing.
    Either way, great blog and I look forward to seeing it expand over time.

  21. A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.
    I believe that you need to write more about this
    subject, it may not be a taboo subject but generally people don't speak about these topics.

    To the next! Cheers!!

  22. You really make it seem really easy along with
    your presentation but I find this matter to be really one thing which I think I would never understand.

    It sort of feels too complex and extremely broad for me.

    I'm looking forward for your subsequent post,
    I'll try to get the dangle of it!
