Integrated Narrative Generation System (INGS) is a framework for integrating our previous researches on narrative generation. INGS integrates various narrative generation modules into an organic architecture. This paper presents a verb conceptual dictionary and a noun conceptual dictionary to be used in INGS. Each of the dictionaries has a conceptual hierarchy with single inheritance by is-a relations. A terminal concept in the verb conceptual dictionary describes one or more case frame(s), the constraints of the main elements and a sentence pattern. The basic description of each terminal concept in the noun conceptual dictionary associates the concept to the other noun concept. The purpose of the study is not developing general conceptual dictionaries, but building them as a mechanism in narrative generation, especially in INGS. Actually, we have combined the two developed conceptual dictionaries with INGS. In this paper, we will present the basic mechanisms based on the cooperation of two types of conceptual dictionary through an implemented narrative generation system, INGS.

“…The story content grammar 5,6 that is a new style of the reorganization of Propp's theory, which gradually generates a macro story with the structure of the style of a Russian fairy tale from the highest level to the lowest level, consists of the following five hierarchical levels. The actual description by Common Lisp is shown in Fig.…”

“…As described above, the Propp-based story generation mechanism can function independently to generate stories with mainly the structural style of a Russian fairy tale which is the material of Propp's theory. On the other hand, we have been addressing the issue of its use as one module of the integrated narrative generation system 6 . For example, we have introduced the Propp-based mechanism into the integrated system as a set of techniques to generate macro structures of stories, and defined a story content grammar relating to the conceptual dictionaries based on our original interpretation and formalization of an essential part of Propp's theory.…”

In the Propp-based story generation mechanisms and the integrated narrative generation system which we have been developing, the former functions is a module in the latter. These systems have used respective event generation mechanisms to generated events which are the most important units in a narrative structural representation. A common event generation mechanism needs to be used in these two systems towards the complete blending. This paper will present the first tentative attempt as a prototype to be revised in the future.

“…Ibrahim N. et al (2014) studied heuristic evaluation process assessing a courseware about local folktales with fixed plots for school children [2]. Besides, anime and fairy storytelling techniques have been used in Japan which applied V.Propp's function theory with the aim to introduce to computer games and digital entertainment [3] [4]. Nowadays, to create new folk plots, such studies use interactive storytelling (IS) system that allows users to dynamically communicate with the system and change the storyline along their actions [5] [6] [7].…”

The authors developed a folktale generator system (FGS) based on the narrative function theory of Vladimir Propp which is used as the story grammar. FGS allows users to generate diverse story plots by drawing curves, intuitively. Each functional segment of Propp's theory in a story is modified into ten variations (including the original one), given a score attribute from one to ten, and then stored in a database as text scripts. Hence, by intuitively drawing a curve, variations can be selected from the database and connected together based on their scores to construct a new story. Thanks to the multitudinous possibilities of stories that it offers, FGS can bring a new breath to traditional folktales and enhance conserving its cultural values. It will also help directors and game designers in the fields of narrative and story design.
