Narrative conjunction's junction function: The interface of narrative grammar and semantics in sequential images
TLDR
This paper argues that these framings involve a type of “conjunction,” whereby a constituent conjoins images sharing a common narrative role in a sequence, and provides a theoretical architecture that allows for numerous levels of abstraction and complexity across several phenomena in visual narratives.About:

Narrative theory and the dynamics of popular movies
TL;DR: A physical narratology of popular movies is explored—narrational structure and how it impacts us—to promote a theory of popular movie form, which shows that movies can be divided into 4 acts—setup, complication, development, and climax—with two optional subunits of prolog and epilog, and a few turning points and plot points.

A multimodal parallel architecture: A cognitive framework for multimodal interactions.
TL;DR: A broad theoretical framework for multimodal interactions is outlined by expanding on Jackendoff's (2002) parallel architecture for language by characterizing interactions between varying complexity in the verbal, bodily, and graphic domains.

Your Brain on Comics: A Cognitive Model of Visual Narrative Comprehension.
TL;DR: This paper will summarize and integrate this emerging literature into the Parallel Interfacing Narrative-Semantics Model (PINS Model)-a theory of sequential image processing characterized by an interaction between two representational levels: semantics and narrative structure.

A Picture is Worth More Words Over Time: Multimodality and Narrative Structure Across Eight Decades of American Superhero Comics
TL;DR: This paper investigated the visual narratives of comic books and found an increase over time of narrative sequences with meaning weighted to the visuals, and an increase of sequences without text at all, indicating that storytelling has shifted towards investing more information in the images and increasing complexity and maturity of the visual narrative structures.

Aspects of the Theory of Syntax
TL;DR: Generative grammars as theories of linguistic competence as discussed by the authors have been used as a theory of performance for language learning. But they have not yet been applied to the problem of language modeling.

Basic objects in natural categories
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors define basic objects as those categories which carry the most information, possess the highest category cue validity, and are the most differentiated from one another, and thus the most distinctive from each other.
