Which Dimensions of Narratives are Relevant for Human Judgments of Story Equivalence?

Year: 2012

Type: book-chapter

Abstract: We present an experimental approach to determining natural dimensions of story comparison. The results show that untrained test subjects generally do not privilege structural information. When asked to justify sameness ratings, they may refer to content, but when asked to state differences, they mostly refer to style, concrete events, details and motifs. We conclude that adequate formal models of narratives must represent such non-structural data.
