In light of the newly defined field of narrative inquiry, this article examines ways in which narrative functions can be used during the analytical and interpretative phases of qualitative research. Using Mishler's typology as a starting point, it questions the practice of dividing storied data into small bits and suggests that there is a need for a wider range of grounded analytical practices - practices based on the functions and operations of narrative itself. Specifically, this discussion proposes a series of models for collocating narrative data by examining how one researcher created frameworks that helped ground final conclusions within the broader narrative environment and context. The article concludes by suggesting that the collocation of narrative is essential for establishing validity and for creating holistic and connected research texts
