The issue of social construction in and through organizations texts: a case in point

摘要

This paper provides an attempt to: 1) bring some of the more quantitative approaches to the analysis of bodies of written text into the field of Organizational Discourse Analysis (ODA) without losing the important qualitative aspects; and 2) to re-extend the relationship between text and context. The point in relation to the theme of the conference is that this throws up examples of dramaturgical constructions of identity/ies-in-text that occur during mundane, routine activities (meetings).
