| Title: | Storybase - A Dictionary of Narrative Situations |
|---|---|
| Submitter: | Wylie Sawyer |
| Description: | Storybase is an interesting attept at indexing narrative situations. It is comprised of over 2,000 unique narrative primitives that have been written (in English) without gender pronouns and without culture-specific references. Thus Storybase represents a common human denominator. The primitives have been indexed according to the mindset, or mental state of the 'characters' and the thrust, or action of the situations. 'Mindset' and 'Thrust' appear to be an attempt at achieving a synthesis of objective and subjective viewpoints.
