Content analysis, cultural grammars, and computers
Tóm tắt
This paper describes current theoretical work in a cognitive anthropological approach to the analysis of oral literature. A theory of narrative grammar is presented along with the description of a computer program, SAGE, that is currently under development. SAGE facilitates the labelling of clauses and sentences by different types of semantic features. It maps and counts the occurrences of these in the stories analyzed.
