| Abstract |
This study attempts to examine the understanding of changes in stories. We develop a story structure system, which classifies each sentence of a story into “foreground,” “background,” and “comment.” F...oreground indicates event, background indicates setting, and comment indicates the storyteller’s comments. We let participants read a story and recall it immediately. We chose the reference-level of each part of the story, dividing it into “reference,” “change,” “not-change,” and “addition” and focused on “change” and “addition.” Consequently, we detected several “changes” and “additions.” The results show that individuals do not receive a story as it is. Furthermore, focusing on “change” and “addition” in each category, especially in the “foreground,” the story contents changed but the order of sentences did not. In “background,” the order of sentences changed but the story contents did not. The result indicates that individuals intend to understand what the storyteller wants to say rather than the story itself.show more
