his is for your kind information: 
I’ve introduced a new disciplinary technology called “Silence Studies”
within the ambit of macro-lingustics. The term ‘silenceme’ is coined in
analogy with phoneme, morpheme etc. (cf.

Instead of writing a technical paper on it, I composed a pseudo-novel in
Bangla: http://www.scribd.com/doc/50661072/META-PETITE-NARRATIVE-OF-BHARAT
It was subsequently translated by me into English at the Silence Digest,
Virginia University:

After that it was translated into Italian, thanks to Stefano Pocci & Diaforia
group, Milan, Italy. The Psychology of Silence : English & Italian

The same Diaforia group, who took a lengthy interview, where I explained 
Indian
Psycholinguistics and a different type of communication system(s)related to
“Corporeal Studies”( another disciplinary technology introduced by me. cf.
http://www.scribd.com/collections/3361033/Corporal-Studies):

One may accuse me that I‘m deviating from the rigor of strict
“scientific” writing. In this case, I must reiterate the present position
of Julia Kristeva, who had influenced me much to frame my anti-chomskian
“Crippled Linguistic Creativity Hypothesis”, which was also subscribed by
Chomsky himself(personal correspondence, 1994-95). Cf.
