Discourse and Institutions
认为制度化的过程尚未被充分研究，而话语分析为此提供了连贯框架。作者构建了一个话语模型，阐述文本、话语、制度与行动之间的关系，并探讨制度化发生的条件及其对其他研究领域的启示。
In this paper, we argue that the processes underlying institutionalization have not been adequately investigated and that discourse analysis provides a coherent framework for such investigation.Accordingly, we develop a discursive model of institutionalization that highlights the relationship between texts, discourse, institutions and action.Our model begins with the relationship between action and discourse, and argues that action primarily affects discourse through the production of texts that are drawn on by other actors and subsequently become embedded in broader discourses.We go on to argue that discourse affects action through the production of institutions, which are associated with self-regulating mechanisms that constrain their meaning and enforce their usage.Based on this discursive model, we propose a set of conditions under which institutionalization processes are most likely to occur and conclude the paper with an exploration of the model's implications for other areas of research.
