International audience; Tropes are cultural narrative conventions that shape our expectations of stories. This paper proposes a new approach to examine movie content relying on tropes. It first presents the architecture of tropes ontology extracted from tvtropes.org, then studies the link prediction problem in trope bipartite networks and discusses the next challenges and numerous applications that ensue from this approach. In addition, we propose to assess the potential of tropes to be the lexicon units of a formal story grammar.
