| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this project was to clarify the human cognitive processes of comprehension, memory, and generation of text. Especially, in this project, we focused on the analysis of summarization process for narrative text. Because the process includes all of the processes of a reader's understanding, memory, and summary-generation for a given text. Followings are the brief descriptions of the findings in this project.
1. The summarization process consists of three main sub-processes; (1) Construction process of the meaning representation of a given text, (2) Determination process of the "gist" information in that meaning representation, and (3) Generation process of the connected surface expression of the gist information.
2. The three processes can be characterized by the reader's internal strategies, which include both special linguistic and general problem-solving ones. The strategies were proposed in the form of formal algorithm.
