Abstract: It is assumed that the readers construct the situation model during reading a story. The situation model is the mental microworld described in the text. According to the event-indexing model, the readers monitor four conceptual dimensions of the incoming event described in a clause: characters, time, space, causality, and intentionality. They construct the situation model of each incoming event and incorporate the model into the previous model. In the present study, we proposed the procedure to represent the situation model using four kinds of frame and the referent relationship between the frames in order to develop the computer system that comprehends the story like the human readers do.
