| Abstract: | Earlier research conducted by the author in 1975 is used as an occasion for reflecting more generally on the adequacy of approaches to the study of language and power in organization analysis. Three approaches,the ethnographic,conversation analysis and a materialist approach are discussed in detail. The limitations,both in practical and analytic terms,of a 'language' approach to power are drawn from a discussion of the 'inclemency rule' and other data. |
