英文摘要 | This paper examines how social structure of racial issues can be constructed through verbal representation. It aims to illustrate how the existence of macrostructure of society is realized through the social interaction of people in their everyday life. As social agents, human beings are not only directed unconsciously by 'social facts' around them. In fact, this paper argues that, social structure and its agents are mutually affected by each other, it is the dynamic processes make the social reality possible. Based on such approach, this article demonstrates that, Member's use of membership categorizations has rich implication in terms of theoretical approach toward social life and sociological interests. Talk is not merely an expression of interior states or contents. Talk is social action: people achieve identities, realities, social order and social relationships through talk. People can formulate and choose their devices of membership categorization according to the given context in order to achieve their aims. Sometimes, sociological researches incline to describe or categorize the social world by their professional knowledge. However, if we want our research to be rigorous, one thing we should bear in mind is that, the real world is constructed through the people's representation, and talk is a feasible way to achieve it. By reviewing Sacks' theory of 'Membership categorization analysis', firstly, it presents the basic ideas and functions of 'Membership Categorization Devices' (MCDs). It tries to illustrate how Sacks approaches the significant structures and functions of MCDs in daily life usage of conversation. Secondly, an extract from a novel written by Tom Spanbauer (1992) entitled of "The Man Who Fell in Love with the Moon" is analyzed here under the method of MCDs Analysis, mainly to demonstrate how such method can be applied to the analyses of narrative as well as conversation. As part of Conversation Analysis (CA), MCDs Analysis is significant for its accountable and observable character in sociological and linguistic research. |
