520 |a Disparate uses of the term "sacred" are illustrated, and three categories of meaning are suggested: religious, transcendent, and set apart. The latter concept is differentiated from the other two, and its conceptual and linguistic relationships to them explored. The set-apart sacred is then clarified, and extended to include things set apart 1) by both individuals and social groups, and 2) because of both natural and supernatural association. A new typology of the sacred is introduced by intersecting these dimensions, a nomenclature is suggested, and the conceptual utility of the resulting constructs demonstrated by applying them to texts from the New York Times and other discourse.
