Modelling the Proposition-SoA contrast in specific frameworks
A typology of Proposition types and/or SoA types
Interaction of the Proposition-SoA contrast with other categories, including:
-     Realis-irrealis contrasts
-     Finite-nonfinite or balanced-deranked contrasts
-     Tensed-nontensed contrasts
-     Evidentiality
-     Modality
