ABSTRACT
The story units in this study are the units described in Common Lisp based on the types of folktales analyzed by Seki et al. We have been developing story units for our integrated narrative generation system (INGS) as a type of narrative technique that generates a new narrative based on the synthesis, transformation, expansion, and so on, of a narrative structure. The story units function in the INGS with conceptual dictionaries. In this paper, we combine these story units with a verb conceptual dictionary and a noun conceptual dictionary. The constitutional elements of each story unit are verb and noun concepts; therefore, combining them with a noun conceptual dictionary enables the substantial function of story units based on the types of Japanese folktales as a group of narrative techniques in the INGS.
