Abstract
Extant literature primarily treats communication as it relates to innovation as a linear, mechanistic process. This article reconceptualizes innovation as a process that occurs within communication. Using Fairclough's three dimensional view of discourse, I demonstrate the linkages of text, discourse, and social practice in an organization where distance learning evolves discursively and becomes embedded in the language system. .
