The resulting Distributed Grammar (DG) program (sketched out in this paper) treats, in addition to the above types of information, the third one, <strong>para-information</strong> (concerning identity and alikeness with respect to context and language ontology) which – despite many studies – had no uniform theoretical background in general linguistics. This DG program aims to lay the foundations for creating the theoretical background of <em>Conceptual Linguistics</em>.</p> <p> </p>}, number={3}, journal={Zagadnienia Naukoznawstwa}, author={Włodarczyk, Hélène & Andre and Włodarczyk, Andre}, year={2022}, month={kwi.}, pages={73–92} }
