This rules out common cases such as "they" referring jointly to two characters introduced separately. Vala, Piper and Ruths study these multi-antecedent anaphors, which they call m-anaphors. They redefine NP anaphor resolution so… 2. **[Social Story Frames: Contextual Reasoning about Narrative Intent and Reception](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/mire-2026-social-story-frames-contextual-reasoning/)** *(2026 · 1 citation)* Stories posted online provoke many kinds of reader reactions, such as guesses about why the author is sharing, emotional responses, and moral judgments of characters. 3. **[Fiction Flows: A Replication and Reinterpretation of Narrative Sequentiality](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/piper-2026-fiction-flows-replication-reinterpretation-narrative/)** *(2026)* This paper re-examines sequentiality, the language-model metric that Sap et al. (2022) proposed to quantify "narrative flow." Their original finding was that imagined stories score higher than recalled ones. That result came from a single proprietary model (GPT-3) and a formula that conditions on a plot summary.
