these appeared most often in my data to be embedded in some form of
narrative. Within a narrative, a whole host of individuated claims becomes
possible. A good example of this occurs in the following excerpt, 'Tommy
Fields'. Here, KPUP (husband and wife) provide a highly dramatised replaying
of an unique event that they experienced in a local pub. The story is full of
invoked figures, often grotesque, with KP&LP posited as the protagonists
around which a highly dramatised scene unfolds.
