Discourse predicates (MI)

Discourse predicates are additional MI particles that don’t wrap logical primitives, but are instead part of MI for historical reasons and are related to the discourse.

mi (intransitive) refers to the speaker(s) in speech, or narrator(s) in writen media, with at least one of the members being the main speaker/narrator.

mo (intransitive) refers to the listerner(s)/interlocutor(s).

mio (intransitive) refers to a set of individuals which includes at least the main speaker and at least one of the listener(s)/interlocutor(s), and doesn’t include something that is neither a speaker or listener. It can be seen as an inclusive we.

mie (intransitive) on the other hand refers to a set of individuals which includes at least the main speakers and which can include anything that is not the listener. It can be seen as an exclusive we.

moe (intransitive) refers to a set of individuals which includes neither speakers bor listeners. It can be seen as third person pronoun.

me (intransitive) is something that the speaker(s) particulary have in mind. Corresponds loosely to the or this in English.
