摘要
（2）The frequent noun keywords give a clue to the setting of O.Henry’s short stories. The temporal keywords tell that all but one story happened in the evening and the duration of time was not long. Some accidents even took place in a few hours. The location keywords denote several ordinary places in a city where something accidental might occur with the author’s witty arrangement.,minutes’. Such sequences of numbers and temporal nouns indicate that most of O.Henry’s short stories develop for a short period. Some events took weeks or days to develop,or even on the ‘bench’ in a little ‘park’. In O.Henry’s stories there were no places of imposing scale or unique style. But they were places perfectly matched with the stories of the common people.
