“…Three main patterns commonly dis-tinguished in studies of 'Speech and Thought Representation' are direct, indirect, and free-indirect speech or thought (see Section 3 for examples). While most attention has been paid to literary texts, scholars have also identified such patterns in cinema (Verstraten, 2009), theatre (McConachie and Hart, 2006), and other domains such as news articles (Sanders, 2010), everyday conversations between parents and young infants (Köder, 2016), or speech from patients with psycho-pathological conditions (van Schuppen et al, 2020).…”

Welcome to the 4th Workshop on Narrative Understanding! This is the 4th iteration of the workshop, which brings together an interdisciplinary group of researchers from AI, ML, NLP, Computer Vision and other related fields, as well as scholars from the humanities to discuss methods to improve automatic narrative understanding capabilities. We are happy to present 8 papers on this topic (along with 7 non-archival papers to be presented only at the workshop). These papers take on the complex challenges presented by diverse texts in areas of film, dialogue and literature as they look to improve methods for event extraction, gender and representation bias, controllable generation, quality assessment, and other tasks related to the workshop theme. We would like to thank everyone who submitted their work to this workshop and the program committee for their helpful feedback.

Disruptions in theory of mind faculties and the ability to relate to an intersubjective reality are widely thought to be crucial to schizophrenic symptomology. This paper applies a cognitive linguistic framework to analyze spontaneous perspective-taking in two corpora of stories told by people with a schizophrenia diagnosis. We elicited natural narrative language use through life story interviews and a guided storytelling task and analyzed the linguistic construal of viewpoint in these stories. For this analysis, we developed a reliable and widely applicable viewpoint model that allows for the categorization and quantification of speakers’ linguistic presentation and navigation of spatiotemporal domains. We found that our participants skillfully presented, navigated and embedded different narrative viewpoints through a variety of linguistic viewpoint devices. They presented complex viewpoints of other people in both the here-and-now of the interaction and the there-and-then of a narrative, and made use of transition markers to demarcate spatiotemporal discourse domains. We found no differences in viewpoint variables when comparing their guided stories to a control group. If problems with intersubjectivity are indeed an essential part of schizophrenia, an explanation of how this group can take on and navigate complex linguistic viewpoints in natural narrative interaction is called for.
