A computer program devised to analyze text by the use of case grammar is described. The program tests a text against the expectations created by a narrative situation and by the connotative values in the narrator's choice of words. It determines spatial concepts attached to various English words and analyzes the spatial relationships in syntactic structures. The assumptions and mechanisms of the approach are outlined, and the results of the program's application to Mark Twain's "Letters from Hawaii" and "Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" are discussed.
