Abstract

In this paper, we describe NKRL (Narrative Knowledge Representation Language), a language designed for representing, in a standardized way, the semantic content (the ‘meaning’) of complex narrative texts. After having introduced informally the four ‘components’ (specialized sub-languages) of NKRL, we will describe (some of) the data structures proper to each of them, trying to show that the NKRL coding retains the main informational elements of the original narrative expressions. We will then focus on an important subset of NKRL, the so-called AECS sub-language, showing in particular that the operators of this sub-language can be used to represent some sorts of ‘plural’ expressions.
