DESCRIPTION:Curtis Child and Eva Witesman of Brigham Young University will 
 present at the July Institutional Grammar Research Initiative (IGRI) virtu
 al research seminar.Abstract:How do nonspecialists conceptualize the third
  sector? Drawing inspiration from Crawford and Ostrom’s grammar of institu
 tions\, we examine how lay observers make sense of the sectoral boundaries
  between nonprofits\, businesses\, and governments. Using a survey exercis
 e in which study participants coded statements describing different intera
 ctions between various types of entities\, we find that research participa
 nts are less prone to label interactions consistently with the nominal sec
 tors of the organizations presented to them and more inclined to code the 
 interactions based on the types of actions organizations take and their ra
 tionale for those actions. We thus use the grammar to explore the everyday
  meanings of nonprofit organization and action\, and we argue that underst
 anding these everyday meanings has important implications for theory and p
 ractice.
