Abstract
This chapter examines storytelling among English-Japanese-speaking family members and peers residing in Australia. It analyses their use of and responses to membership category terms from the membership categorisation devices (MCDs) “nationality” and “race/ethnicity.” Focussing on how membership category terms are deployed in performing social actions and displaying stances, the analysis shows how storytellers and recipients explicitly and implicitly brought up category terms (e.g. ‘Asian,’ ‘Aussie,’ ‘Japanese’) through a range of linguistic resources and practices, including descriptors, reference terms, repair, and predicates detailing the conduct of third parties. The analysis highlights how recipients used category terms to demonstrate their understanding of the persons mentioned by tellers. The chapter addresses what is potentially being learned in storytelling episodes utilising membership category terms and argues that such category terms are an important resource for constructing identity, managing the moral order, and displaying and negotiating views of the social world. Practical recommendations are provided.
