More about the book
Focusing on the concept of the episode as the smallest unit of narrative action, the work defines it as a construct formed by the reader, who interprets a series of distinct events as a transformational sequence of two occurrences. This interpretation relies on the text itself, the reader's world knowledge, and specific logical and semiotic rules that act as universal principles of narrative comprehension. Additionally, the study introduces a newly developed software application designed for identifying, tagging, and analyzing events within narrative texts.
