| Abstract: | In this paper I focus on the limits of narrative by asking what kinds of things narratives do, and what kinds of texts do
related things in other ways. In particular I focus on how narrative genres organise time in relation to value, drawing on
functional linguistic models of temporality and evaluation. From a linguistic perspective, the various narrative genres negotiate
different kinds of solidarity with listeners, and so the limits of narrative materialise various possibilities for communing
in a culture, alongside the potentialities for construing community through related and other genres of discourse—since in
general, the limits/possibilities of our language (and attendant modalities of communication) are the limits/possibilities
of our social world.
