Abstract:Over fourty years after the initial publication of "Implications of Theories of Language for Information Systems" in MIS Quaterly, Lyytinen reflects about the origins of his publication and the developments in this area of research over the past decades. In the here presented interview, Lyytinen discusses the linguistic core of information systems also in light of recent trends and developments in the field, especially with regards to large language models and generative AI. Future research directions following a linguistic perspective on Information Systems (IS) research are outlined.
