Story Comparisons: Evidence from Film Reviews

Authors: Bernhard Fisseni, Aadil Kurji, Deniz Sarikaya, and Mira Viehstädt

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 32, 2013 Workshop on Computational Models of Narrative

Abstract

Interested in formally modelling similarity between narratives, we investigate judgements of similarity between narratives in a small corpus of film reviews and book–film comparisons. A main finding is that judgements tend to concern multiple levels of story representation at once. As these texts are pragmatically related to reception contexts, we find many references to reception quality and optimality. We conclude that current formal models of narrative can not capture the task of naturalistic narrative comparisons given in the analysed reviews, but that the development of models containing a more reception-oriented point of view will be necessary.
