9 Summary of Week 3

In this week, you have looked at the role of language and grammar in understanding and facilitating organisational culture change. As the work of Linguistic Landscapes and Gill Ereaut hopefully demonstrates, interventions based on linguistic analysis can have significant and concrete consequences in this context, both for organisations internally and for what they are trying to achieve.

Next week you’ll focus on the language of doctor-patient dialogues and explore how conversation analysis can help in understanding communication.
