鉴于叙事在从个人身份到国际政治的各个社会层面都具有深远影响,理解其随时间的分布与发展至关重要。这一点在网络空间中尤为重要。在 Web 上,叙事可能迅速传播,并加剧社会分裂与冲突。尽管已有许多定性方法,但量化叙事仍是一项重大挑战。计算叙事分析缺乏既全面又可泛化的框架。为弥补这一空白,我们提出一种基于结构主义语言学理论的数值化叙事表示。其中,Greimas 的行动元模型通过六个功能性角色构成的星座来表征叙事。这些所谓的行动元不依赖体裁,因此该模型具有很强的可泛化性。我们使用开源 LLM 提取行动元,并将其整合到 Narrative-Structured Text Embedding(叙事结构化文本嵌入)中,以同时捕捉文本的语义和叙事结构。我们以来自 Al Jazeera 和 The Washington Post 的 5000 篇关于以巴冲突的全文新闻文章为例,展示了该方法的分析洞见。我们的方法成功区分了报道相同主题但叙事结构不同的文章。
英文摘要:
Given the profound impact of narratives across various societal levels, from personal identities to international politics, it is crucial to understand their distribution and development over time. This is particularly important in online spaces. On the Web, narratives can spread rapidly and intensify societal divides and conflicts. While many qualitative approaches exist, quantifying narratives remains a significant challenge. Computational narrative analysis lacks frameworks that are both comprehensive and generalizable. To address this gap, we introduce a numerical narrative representation grounded in structuralist linguistic theory. Chiefly, Greimas' Actantial Model represents a narrative through a constellation of six functional character roles. These so-called actants are genre-agnostic, making the model highly generalizable. We extract the actants using an open-source LLM and integrate them into a Narrative-Structured Text Embedding that captures both the semantics and narrative structure of a text. We demonstrate the analytical insights of the method on the example of 5000 full-text news articles from Al Jazeera and The Washington Post on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Our method successfully distinguishes articles that cover the same topics but differ in narrative structure.
