The category ‘enactment of narrative events’ concerns ‘verbal events’ (Kozloff 2000: 41), i.e. speech acts that constitute major narrative events. Examples for verbal events provided by Kozloff (2000: 41-3) include: disclosure of (secret) information, declaration of love, closing arguments, verdicts, witness breakdowns, prayer, absolution, and exorcism. An example of dialogue functioning to enact the narrative event of mutual ‘declaration of love’ comes from season 1 of the romantic comedy-drama Jane the Virgin (The CW, 2014-):

(1)

Jane: […] And look y-you don’t have to tell me the way you’re feeling right now. I-I just want you to know that you can. That you can trust me with whatever you’re feeling or thinking. [pause, ca 1 sec] Because I love you.
[pause, ca 3 sec]
I do. I love you.
[pause, ca 4 sec]
Rafael: I love you. I love you.
(Jane the Virgin S1: E14, ‘Chapter Fourteen’)
