:[[Fr]]. ''[[énonciation]]'' ==The ===Enunciation and Statement and the Enunciation=====In [[linguistics|linguistic theory]] in Europe, one important distinction is that between the [[enunciation]] ([[Fr]. ''[[énonciation]]'') and the [[statement]] ([[Fr]]. ''[[énoncé]]'').
This distinction concerns two ways of regarding linguistic production.
* When linguistic production is analyzed in terms of abstract grammatical units (such as sentences), independent of the specific circumstances of occurrence, it is referred to as a [[statement]]. * On the other hand, when linguistic production is analyzed as an individual act performed by a particular speaker at a specific time / place, and in a specific situation, it is referred to as an "[[enunciation]]." =====Jacques Lacan=====Long before [[Lacan]] uses these terms, he is aleady making a similar distinction.
On In 1936, for example, he stresses that the other hand, when linguistic production is analyzed as an individual act performed by a particular speaker at a specifi time/place, and in of [[speech|speaking]] contains a specific stiaution, it is referred to as an "[[enunciationmeaning]]in itself, even if the words spoken are "meaningless."<ref>{{Ec}} p.83</ref>
===The Statement===The Prior to any function it may have in "conveying a message," [[statementspeech]] (''is an appeal to the [[énoncéother]]'') refers to the actual words uttered.
The This attention to the act of [[statementspeech|speaking]] is analysed in terms itself, irrespective of the content of abstract grammarthe utterance, independent anticipates [[Lacan]]'s attention to the dimension of the specific circumstances of occurrence[[enunciation]].
===The Enunciation==Psychotic Language=====The When [[Lacan]] does come to use the term "[[enunciation]] (''" in 1946, it is first of all to describe strange characteristics of [[psychotic]] [[énonciationlanguage]]'') refers to , with its "duplicity of the act of uttering themenunciation."<ref>{{Ec}} p.167</ref>
The =====Subject of the Unconscious=====Later, in the 1950s, the term is used to locate the [[enunciationsubject]] of the [[unconscious]] is analyzed as an individual act performed by a particular speaker at a specific time/place, and in a specific situation.
--=====Graph of Desire=====In the [[graph of desire]], the lower [[signifying chain|chain]] is the [[statement]], which is [[speech]] in its [[conscious]] dimension, while the upper [[signifying chain|chain]] is "the unconscious enunciation."<ref>{{E}} p.316</ref>
Long before =====Discourse of the Other=====In designating the [[enunciation]] as [[unconscious]], [[Lacan]] uses these termsaffirms that the source of [[speech]] is not the [[ego]], nor [[consciousness]], but the [[unconscious]]; [[language]] comes from the [[Other]], he and the idea that "I" am [[master]] of my [[discourse]] is aleayd making a similar distinctiononly an [[delusion|illusion]].
In 1936=====Subject of the Statement or Subject of the Enunciation=====The very word "I" (''Je'') is ambiguous; as [[shifter]], for exampleit is both a [[signifier]] acting as [[subject]] of the [[statement]], and an [[index]] which designate, but does not [[signification|signify]], he stresses that the act [[subject]] of speaking contains a meaning in itself, even if the words spoken are "eamingless[[[enunciation]]."<ref>{{EcE}} p.83298</ref>

This attention to the act of speaking in itself, irrespective of the content of the utterance, antici[ates [[Lacan]]'s attention to the dimension of the [[enunciation]].--

In 1946, Lacan uses the term 'enunciation' to describe strange characteristics of psychotic language, with its "duplicity of the enunciation."<ref>{{Ec}} p.167</ref>
