摘要：This article focuses on the potential of linguistics to produce mode-2 knowledge in organizational discourse (OD) as a field of study. Mode-2 knowledge, the article explains, is an organization’s means to perform more productively. The realization of this potential, the article argues, rests with both linguists and organizational scholars. Linguists can contribute by informing organizational scholars of the merits of post-classical linguistics which has been increasingly adopting a transdisciplinary perspective through viewing language as integrated with society and world knowledge. Organizational scholars, on the other hand, can contribute by changing their attitude towards linguistics from perceiving it as vague, chaotic and resistive to accepting it as reliable, orderly and supportive. However, to a large extent, the article suggests, the ‘marriage’ between linguistics and OD is, inevitably, a political issue.
