Abstract:
Some formal systems of narrative aim to represent those features that
belong to faithful summaries of the narrative. In this paper, we
compare data obtained in two experiments by means of an event mapping:
summaries by untrained test subjects and annotations of test subjects
trained in the narrative framework of Vladimir Propp. The method used
is adequate for the task and highlights differences between summaries
and our Proppian data.
