Quantitative Narrative Analysis" focuses on the following issues: the fundamental features of narrative (as a specific type of text genre with certain invariant linguistic properties); how the invariant properties of narrative can beused to structure narrative information in ways that basic qualitative information can then be analyzed quantitatively (story grammars, or Subject-Action-Object and respective modifiers, such as Time and Space of Action); reliability(and how the computer and linguistic framework of the approach greatly increase data reliability); and, data analysis (the book does not focus on general problems of data analysis, it will show how textual data can be analyzed with numbers).
