for metaphor analysis. Anna-Lena Ereback helped us with the practical user
study work. In particular, we thank the anonymous participants in our study.
Notes
. The media by which narratives are received may vary (e.g., text, sound, moving im-
agery and computer games) and each has its own term for denoting the 'receiving end'
(e.g., reader, listener, spectator, player and user). We will be using 'text' and 'reader' in the
general sense of the terms, to denote narrative structure and reception of that structure
independent of media.
. The full questionnaire (in Swedish) can be found at [http://www.sics.se/ kia/question-
naire.htm].
. Mann-Whitney was used since usage of spatial versus narrative verbs and adverbs can-
not be assumed to be normally distributed. The comparison was made by comparing the
number of spatial expressions and the number of narrative expressions, normalized by the
number of analyzed verbs and adverbs.
