Ethno 2 References

Ethno 2  incorporates ideas from various sources, beyond Heise's publications, in order to be a useful computer program for qualitatively analyzing narratives. Here are citations for some ideas implemented in the program (alluding to references above):

• On the basic idea of analyzing narratives in terms of if-then models: Fararo and Skvoretz.
• On the usefulness of counterfactual questions in establishing logical linkages: Griffin.
• On the way to define a cluster of events that can be summarized as a single abstract event: Abell.
