Abstract
This entry utilizes Kenneth Burke's conceptualization of society as symbolic action to provide an overview of how language is symbolic of reality. Burke argues that language is a powerful symbolic tool that allows meaning to be created, with each set of vocabularies providing limitations and advantages in describing the reality of human experience. Burke's scholarship has three parts that illuminate society as symbolic action: terministic screens, the definition of man, and dramatistic criticism. Such explanation and the associated critical reasoning are vital to explaining the essence of emergent strategy as the strategic communication by which society is created and enacted.
