The analysis presented here suggests that it is possible to construct rigorous, disconfirmable process models using the grammatical metaphor. The particular advantage of such models is that they suggest an explicit connection between structural features of the context and the set of possible processes. In addition grammatical models make the layered quality of many organizational processes explicit through the use of syntactic constituents. As a result grammatical models provide a unique window into the relationship between institutional, technological, coordination, and cultural structures and the details of organizational actions, routines, and processes. The generative quality of grammatical models suggests the possibility of predicting or designing new processes, as well. In short, the grammatical metaphor seems to offer a great deal to organization theory.
