The DIGRAM group focuses its research activity on the analysis of grammatical aspects with a relevant discursive projection from a perspective that includes and goes beyond the study of text grammar and textual cohesion. Specifically, he has worked and continues to work on connectors and discourse markers in general from a descriptive and contrastive perspective (basically contrasting Catalan with English and Spanish and, occasionally, with other Romance languages), the use of demonstratives, the function of encapsulating nouns or the pragmatic functions of verba dicendi in discourse, among others, in discursive construction. These textual aspects are related to discourse genre and channel. The research is based on oral corpus of political discourse (electoral debate and parliamentary debate), conversation and semi-directed interview (CUBO and JEFE of the UB) and written corpus, such as novels or the Corpus Textual Informatizado de la Lengua Catalana (IEC), depending on the aspect under study. We have been collaborating for years with the GREPAD group at the UB (http://www.ub.edu/grepad/). Currently, M. J. Cuenca is working on the project Polarization and Digital Discourses:...The DIGRAM group focuses its research activity on the analysis of grammatical aspects with a relevant discursive projection from a perspective that includes and goes beyond the study of text grammar and textual cohesion.

- El objetivo general del grupo se el análisis de aspectos gramaticales y textuales con una proyección discursiva y como inciden en la coherencia y la adecuación textuales. Este objetivo se concreta en varios objetivos específicos:
- a) Estudiar los límites entre los mecanismos de referencia y los de conexión, analizando la creación de unidades conectivas a partir de unidades léxicas o de naturaleza referencial.
- b) Analizar el funcionamiento de los nombres encapsuladores y los verba dicendi como elementos clave en la secuenciación discursiva y en la integración de diferentes planes enunciativos, respectivamente.
- c) Profundizar en la función modalizadora de los marcadores del discurso, los marcadores modales y los nombres encapsuladores como estrategia persuasiva de subjetivación o de objetivación de la información.
- d) Estudiar marcas y estrategias lingüísticas con un valor argumentativo e ideológico marcado.
