Narrative summarization and its correspondence to Proppian functions

Some formal systems of narrative aim to represent those features that belong to faithful summaries of the narrative. In this paper, we compare data obtained in two experiments by means of an event mapping: summaries by untrained test subjects and annotations of test subjects trained in the narrative framework of Vladimir Propp. The method used is adequate for the task and highlights differences between summaries and our Proppian data.
