Understanding Institutions’ Rhetorical Agency
Abstract
This chapter offers a view of the common conceptual ground, the “Really Big Question,” that links the chapters in this and its companion volume. Do institutions have rhetorical agency? Beginning with a discussion with a “Really Big Question” about why it might matter to scholars from multiple fields who share an interest in the language of institutions, this chapter identifies resolutions consistently offered throughout the DICTION-based scholarship presented here. It also considers some of the implications, with particular attention to what it reveals about the instrumental and constitutive functions of institutional language. The chapter concludes with three questions that remain, underscoring both the strengths and limitations of the research DICTION enables.
