Over the last 30 years, our field has experienced a proliferation of theoretical perspectives that examine the language in organizational and institutional settings (e.g., impression management, framing, rhetoric, discourse, narratives, vocabularies). This proliferation of perspectives has been helped by the vast public availability of texts as well as recent methodological developments that enable us to analyze these texts like never before. However, this explosion of theoretical perspectives, data availability, and methodological approaches has challenged researchers to think more carefully about which theoretical and methodological approaches to use for their desired research objectives. This professional development workshop (PDW) builds upon and extends a successful symposium on language held during AOM 2018 in Chicago and aims primarily to provide a forum for bringing together a variety of theoretical and empirical approaches to language. Our secondary goal is to broaden the scope of this growing community by inviting the participation of scholars who have used language directly or indirectly in their research and would like to contribute to this area of work in the future.
