Missing Linguistics§2.5Priority #12

Discourse and Narrative

Open

The Gap

No discourse structure, coherence relations, anaphora resolution, or narrative grammar.

Why It Matters

UL can express individual propositions but cannot structure arguments, explain causation, or tell stories.

Resolution

Model coherence relations as typed connections between frames. Formalize topic structure and narrative arc.
