This is a problem to partially order sets of events centered around a common protagonist. Narrative chains are related to structured sequences of participants and events that are called scripts (Schank and Abelson, 1977).

For example, (taken from Chambers and Jurafsky (2008)), an example of a narrative chain:


_ accused X

X claimed _

X argued

_ dismissed X


Another example of narrative chain is:


W joined _

W served _

W oversaw _

W resigned
