物語理解研究のための因果的意味関係表現体系の一提案(その1) : 命題および命題間関係の分類と物語内世界の設定について

抄録

We propose a notation system for displaying the meaning structure of a narrative story. As a first task the basis for representing narrative events and states in memory was investigated by analyzing readers' identifications of types of basic statements and their causal inferences between statements. Results suggested that the notation should contain six types of nodes (statements), three types of directed arcs (possible causal connections), and the embedded 'mental worlds', each of which incorporated the desire, intention, belief, memory, and other mental activities of each of the narrative characters.
