Dicana

The combination of Discourse, Cateity and Narrativization, together forming a triad of how people think and talk, how they relate to themselves and each other, and how they contextualize it all into patterns of meaning. Note that the concept of discourse is flexible: A wide conceptualization of discourse may include cateity and narrativization, and may thus be synonymous with dicana. As all three aspects of dicana are done through each other, the acts of creating cateitization and narrativization are discursive acts even in the more limited definition of discourse.
