This paper proposes an integrated framework of narrative discourse system that trans-
forms a story text to a variety of discourse texts. This mechanism is one of the major
parts of the architecture of our narrative generation system. A “story” means the
content of a narrative and is described with the conceptual representation of temporal
ordered events in the narrative generation system. On the other hand, a “discourse”
means how to form a story and is described with the conceptual representation that is
corresponded to a real text structure. In the research of narrative generation system,
few approaches deal with the aspect of narrative discourse. A distinguished characteris-
tic in this system is to use two literary theories for developing its important mechanisms.
First, narrative discourse techniques for manipulating narrative discourse structures are
defined according to the narrative discourse theory by Genette. Second, the circula-
tive generation process for these narrative discourse techniques is controlled using the
repetitive interaction between a narrator and a narratee based on a computational in-
terpretation of the reception theory by Jauss. In the first part, this paper explains the
overview of the above literary theories. And in the next parts, we describe the pro-
posed system's mechanism and implementation, and several experiments of discourse generation by the system.

This paper aims to study the creative process of collaborative improvisation, which
has rarely been the subject of cognitive science research. The special focus is on how
a dancer’s improvisational process is influenced by another dancer’s performance. Bat-
tle performances of street dance are chosen as the target performances of this study
and contrasted with solo performances, because in battle situations dancers have to
generate their original expressions in a highly improvised manner. We conducted an
experimental study, aiming to investigate both the cognitive process of dancers and
the characteristic features of their dance performances. The three main results are as
follows: 1) The generation frequency of new dance movements was not different be-
tween solo and battle dance performances. 2) The generation process of a dancer’s new
dance movements was influenced by another dancer’s performance. In the battle per-
formances, dancers generated new dance movements by combining several movements
that they had already acquired, while they generated new movements by only changing
some parts of their acquired dance movements in the solo performances. 3) In the
battle performances, as distinct from the solo dance performances, dancers generated
their dance movements by adopting movements of another dancers and changing the
structures of their movements. These features resulted in differences in the processes
of generating new patterns.

This study, at first, constructs a computational model of inductive reasoning based
on the probabilistic concept structure estimated by the statistical analysis of large scale
Chinese language data. In order to examine the efficiency of the model, which has al-
ready been certified about the Japanese language (Sakamoto & Nakagawa 2008, 2010),
the study verifies the validity of the model using the psychological experiment. The
new computational model of inductive reasoning is constructed based on the statistical
analysis of extended Japanese language data, including not only the news paper articles
but also literature. The validity of the model is then verified using the psychological
experiment.
Furthermore, from the comparison between simulation results of both models, the
study examines the hypothesis that the inductive reasoning process does not necessar-
ily depend on the individual language system. Finally, through the detailed comparison
between the results of both models, the commonality and difference between both cul-
tures and social systems hidden in the back of both languages is discussed.

While reading silently, we process only the visual information of the text. Conversely,
while reading texts orally, we process the visually presented text and produce the au-
ditory information of the text through articulatory movement. These activities are
assumed to facilitate the memory and comprehension of textual information. Although
we cannot use such auditory nor motor information while reading silently, there is little
difference between the degree of comprehension based on silent and oral reading for
adult readers. The purpose of this study is to explain how we compensate the loss of
multisensory process during silent reading by comparing the visual processing process
during silent and oral reading. In Experiment 1, we measured the eye-movement dur-
ing reading garden-path and normal sentences silently and orally. In Experiment 2,
we compared the eye-movement during reading more common paragraph silently and
orally. The results showed that silent reading took shorter time for comprehension than
oral reading, and readers had more visual fixation points and read back frequently dur-
ing reading silently than orally. These reading strategies during silent reading seemed
to compensate the loss of multisensory process and support the text comprehension.

このたびは大会発表賞という栄誉ある賞をいただき，大変光栄に存じます．ご選考下さいました先生方，会場での発表に耳を傾けて下さった皆様にはこの場をお借りして厚く御礼申し上げたいと思います． この研究は，ダンサーの方達との交流を深める中で感じていた「こういった複雑で魅力的な身体表現を，ダンサーはいかなる工夫を経て生み出したのか」という問いを起点として検討したものです．ある身体表現が生成され発展するプロセスを検討する，という分析の困難さに頭を抱えることも多々ありましたが，研究会での議論やダンサーの方達との話し合いを通じて「身体行為を行った際に生じた変化に着目する」という本研究の観点は徐々に導かれていきました．まだ不十分な点も多くありますが，こうした新たな試みを評価していただけたことを大変うれしく感じます．指導教員の岡田猛先生，研究室の皆様，ダンサーの皆様，そしてご協力頂いた全ての方々に感謝を申し上げます．
