The grammar of visual narrative: Neural evidence for constituent structure in sequential image comprehension.
Constituent structure has long been established as a central feature of human language. Analogous to how syntax organizes words in sentences, a narrative grammar organizes sequential images into hierarchic constituents. Here we show that the brain draws upon this constituent structure to comprehend wordless visual narratives. We recorded neural responses as participants viewed sequences of visu...
متن کامل(Pea)nuts and bolts of visual narrative: structure and meaning in sequential image comprehension.
Just as syntax differentiates coherent sentences from scrambled word strings, the comprehension of sequential images must also use a cognitive system to distinguish coherent narrative sequences from random strings of images. We conducted experiments analogous to two classic studies of language processing to examine the contributions of narrative structure and semantic relatedness to processing ...
متن کاملWhat is your neural function, visual narrative conjunction? Grammar, meaning, and fluency in sequential image processing
Visual narratives sometimes depict successive images with different characters in the same physical space; corpus analysis has revealed that this occurs more often in Japanese manga than American comics. We used event-related brain potentials to determine whether comprehension of "visual narrative conjunctions" invokes not only incremental mental updating as traditionally assumed, but also, as ...

متن کاملSegmenting Visual Narratives: Evidence for Constituent Structure in Comics
We have proposed that visual narratives in comics are organized with a hierarchic narrative “grammar.” Inspired by classic “click” studies of syntax, we inserted blank “disruption” panels Before, At, or After the constituent boundaries of comic strips. In self-paced viewing, Experiment 1 found that blanks After the boundary were viewed slower than Before or At the boundary. Panels immediately f...
