Abstract

Argumentation plays a critical role in the consumption of crime narratives. The public’s unquenchable thirst for crime hasn’t been slaked since the rise in the genre’s popularity, providing a rich dataset through which to investigate the different kinds of reasoning that play a role in the narratives of crime. This paper will explore the different ways people form hypotheses and the evolution between different hypotheses written within one narrative.
