概要 The present study addresses the effects of grammatical person of a protagonist in narrative reading. Self-paced reading experiments showed that a protagonist's emotion was inferred during comprehension, and that the reading time was longer for third-person narratives than first- or second-person narratives. The results produced a significant effect of grammatical person showing that emotion inference was slower for third-person narratives than for second-person narratives. We argue that this is because the readers failed to put themselves in the protagonist's position due to the rapid controlled reading rate. In conclusion, to engage themselves in the story, readers shift their viewpoint from an ego-centric perspective to the protagonist's during comprehension.
