Abstract

Membership Categorization Analysis is usually used to analyze news texts and ordinary conversations. However, it can show how the methodic use of membership categories is a fundamental property of the narrative texts. In this short essay, I want to show how the membership categories selected to describe the characters of a short story are selected in a methodic way and how their methodic use achieves the moral message of the story. I show my hypothesis with the analysis of an evangelical short story: The Parable of the Good Samaritan. 

Keywords: membership categories; Harvey Sacks; narration; moral message; evangelical parables.
