my article on narrative formatting and moralisation is out with Journal of Linguistic Anthropology! in it, i consider how some stories are formatted to become recognisable and coherent to maximise the uptake of meanings - but this is infused with morality https://t.co/EJ2b4hNFdW

the article conceptualises narrative formatting as a normative discursive process that presents certain stories as morally aspirational, which is particularly insidious if the moral of the story is “you can choose not to be gay”.
