Abstract

A formal narrative representation is a procedure assigning a formal
description to a natural language narrative. One of the goals of the
computational models of narrative community is to understand this
procedure better in order to automatize it. A formal framework fit for
automatization should allow for objective and reproducible
representations. In this paper, we present empirical work focussing on
objectivity and reproducibility of the formal framework by Vladimir
Propp (1928). The experiments consider Propp’s formalization of
Russian fairy tales and formalizations done by test subjects in the
same formal framework; the data show that some features of Propp’s
system such as the assignment of the characters to the dramatis
personae and some of the functions are not easy to reproduce.
