Are there guidelines to define if something is an aggada

It is often clear when a portion of the gemarah is written as an aggadah (ie, non-legal), however there are times where it may be unclear if a statement is aggadic, halachic, or none of the above. I would like to know if any authorities have established guidelines to help a reader evaluate if in fact the statement they are reading is an aggadic one.
