|
The differences between story grammar and story schema |
|
are outlined and discussed based on research on story |
|
understanding by children and adults. The contention of |
|
all story grammars is that stories have a relatively |
|
invariant structure despite great differences in story |
|
content. The importance of structure within folk tales, |
|
and the ways in which children incorporate the structure |
|
into their knowledge systems, particularly comprehension |
|
and memory, are examined. These issues are addressed: |
|
finite-state versus context-free grammar, similar |
|
considerations of structure in music, ordered |
|
consitutents of a story grammar, episodes, research |
|
supporting the theory of structural knowledge guiding |
|
recall of the story, cross-cultural similarities, the |
|
influences of changes in story schema on reading times, |
|
and the effects of the structural hierarchy in stories-- |
|
especially the "levels effect"--in processing. A list of |
|
references and illustrative figures are appended. (MSE) |
