Fig 1
A graphical model of narratives.
For a story with a set of actants A1, …, An, the narrative can be divided into a set of contexts. In each context, the story is summarized as a set of interactions (relationships) between actants as shown in the figure. Therefore, an edge between actants A1 and A2 carries a set of relationships that exist between the two actants, and the significance of each relationship in this context. It is important to note that relationships come from not only verbs, but also other syntactic structures in the text that imply relationships.
