What is the DISTRIBUTED
GRAMMAR Programme ?
On top of logical inference (reason), such psychological
factors as attention, intention and emotion
interplay as much in the processes of meaning creation as in that of
communication. The Programme of the
Distributed Grammar (defined as a
highly modular model of language processing in human brain) is therefore a
complex view of language which emerged as the result of a multi-level
investigation into the sequential (linear) ordering of the constituents of
linguistic utterances focusing on the fact that the sequential nature of
language reflects the semantico-pragmatic overt
(explicitly expressed, cf. explicature) and covert
(default, cf. implicature) components of communicated information. The Distributed Grammar Programme
is an integrated framework for Associative Semantics (AS) and
Meta-Informative Centering (MIC) theory. What is INTERACTIVE LINGUISTICS ?
More and more linguists develop today an interest in
using and applying computational intelligence to their research on languages.
The methods of Interactive
Linguistics are aimed at describing natural languages using data
mining techniques elaborated within the framework of the new paradigm of
computation known as Knowledge Discovery in Databases (KDD). Indeed, it is
important to build or logically reconstruct (enhance, integrate
and formalize) theories of language in order to conceive meta-theoretical
foundations which are necessary for making further progress in language
studies. Interactive Linguistics is an attempt to provide the best research
standards for the linguistic science following the example of building the
semantic web in the field of information technology (IT). The MIC
(Meta-Informative Centering) theory together with AS
(Associative Semantics) seem to be a good theoretical framework for
interactive research. As a matter of fact, the foundations of [Distributed
Grammar], an integrative framework for MIC and AS, are been
elaborated partly interactively using data mining functions which are
implemented in [Semana]. For
