Theoretical framework: Distributed Grammar Program
http://celta.paris-sorbonne.fr/anasem/indexASMIC.html
http://www.decode.waseda.ac.jp/announcement/2017-12-15-17.html

Description
The recent development of the MIC theory led us to integrate this theory into a more general framework (Distributed Grammar Program - DG for short) suitable for research on the three following kinds of information as expressed in the content of utterances: para-, ortho- and meta-information.
Important ! The framework of the Distributed Grammar Program is supposed to be basically transdiciplinary. Presentations in the fields of theoretical or descriptive linguistics (including discourse structure), NLP, psycholinguistics, neurosciences, logics and computer science are welcome provided that they apply the theory of the Distributed Grammar Program or contribute to its development.

Topics (strictly compliant with the DG Program): questions of one or more language(s) (including dialects, diachrony and contrastive approaches), language processing, L1 and L2 acquisition, language disorders, fMRI results.

Suggested topics:

1. Markers of meta-information in utterance: discourse situations, intonation, word-
order, particles, verb voices, impersonal constructions, modalities, testimonial
(imperceptive).

2. Markers of ortho-information in utterance: universe situations, agency,
prepositions, tense and aspect.

3. Markers of para-information in utterance:: adverbials and/or „paradigmatic
conjunctions” such as „also”, „too”, „even”, „only”, „especially”, „solely” etc.

4. Markers of general and particular themes inferred through the analysis of the
succession of utterances in Discourse/Dialogue/Text structures.
