ENUNCIATION (=====Translator's Note=====The [[distinction]] between "'Enonciation'énoncé')'" and "''énonciation''" is a common one in contemporary [[French]] [[thinking]].

In linguistics"''Énoncé''", one important distinction which is that between translated as "[[statement]]", refers to the actual [[enunciationwords]] (uttered, "''enonciationénonciation'') and " to the act of uttering [[statementthem]] (''enonce'').

When =====Enunciation and Statement=====In [[linguistics|linguistic production is analysed theory]] in terms of abstract grammatical units (such as sentences)[[Europe]], independent of the specific circumstances of occurrence, it one important distinction is referred to as a statement. On that between the other hand, when linguistic production is analysed as an individual act performed by a particular speaker at a specific time/place, [[enunciation]] and in a specific situation, it is referred to as an enunciationthe [[statement]].

In 1936, Lacan states that The [[statement]] refers to the actual words uttered; the [[enunciation]] refers to the act of speaking contains a meaning in itself, even if the actual words spoken are 'meaningless.'<ref>Ec. puttering them.83</ref>

=====Statement=====A [[Speechstatement]], prior to any function it may have is [[speech]] analysed in 'conveying a message', is an appeal to the [[otherterms]] of its abstract [[grammatical]]units, independent of the specific circumstances of occurrence.

Lacan focuses his attention on the dimension of the =====Enunciation=====An [[enunciation]] is [[speech]] [[analyzed]] as an [[individual]] act performed by a [[particular]] [[speaker]] at a specific [[time]] / [[place]], the act of speaking and in itself, irrespective of the content of the utterancea specific [[situation]].

In 1946, =====Jacques Lacan==========Early Work=====Long before [[Lacan ]] uses the term 'enunciation' to describe strange characteristics of psychotic languagethese terms, with its 'duplicity of the enunciationhe is aleady making a similar distinction.'<ref>Ec, 167</ref>

In 1936, for example, he stresses that the 1950sact of [[speech|speaking]] contains a [[meaning]] in itself, even if the term is used to locate the words spoken are "[[subject of the unconscioussignification|meaningless]]. "<ref>{{Ec}} p.83</ref>

In the Prior to any function it may have in "conveying a [[graph of desiremessage]], the lower [[chain]] is the [[statement]], which is " [[speech]] in its [[conscious]] dimension, while the upper [[chain]] is "an appeal to the [[unconscious]] [[enunciationother]]."<ref>E, 316</ref>

[[Lacan]] designates This attention to the [[enunciation]] as u[[nconscious]], and affirms that the source act of [[speech|speaking]] is not the [[ego]]in itself, nor [[consciousness]], but irrespective of the [[unconsciouscontent]]; [[language]] comes from of the [[Other]]utterance, and the idea that 'anticipates [[ILacan]]' am s attention to the [[masterdimension]] of my the [[discourse]] is only an [[illusionenunciation]].

The very word '=====Psychotic Language=====When [[ILacan]]' (''Je'') is ambiguous; as a does come to use the term "[[shifterenunciation]]" in 1946, it is both a [[signifier]] acting as [[subject]] first of all to describe strange characteristics of the [[statementpsychotic]], and an index which designates, but does not [[signifylanguage]], the [[subject]] with its "duplicity of the [[enunciation]]."<ref>E, 298{{Ec}} p.167</ref>

=====Subject of the Unconscious=====Later, in the 1950s, the term is used to locate the [[subject]] of the [[unconscious]]. =====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> =====Unconscious Enunciation=====In designating the [[enunciation]] as [[unconscious]], [[Lacan]] affirms that the source of [[speech]] is not the [[ego]], nor [[consciousness]], but the [[unconscious]]; [[language]] comes from the [[Other]], and the [[idea]] that "I" am [[master]] of my [[discourse]] is only an [[delusion|illusion]]. =====Subject of the Statement or Enunciation=====The very [[word]] "I" (''Je'') is ambiguous; as [[shifter]], it is both a [[signifier]] acting as [[subject]] of the [[statement]], and an [[index]] which designate, but does not [[signification|signify]], the [[subject]] of the [[enunciation]].<ref>{{E}} p.298</ref> =====Split Subject=====The [[subject]] is thus [[split]] between these two levels, [[division|divided ]] in the very act of articulating the "''I" '' that presents the [[delusion|illusion]] of [[unity]].<ref>Sll, {{S11}} p.139</ref> ==See Also=={{See}}* ''[[Cogito]]''* [[Consciousness]]* [[Discourse]]||* [[Ego]]* [[Graph of desire]]* [[Language]]||* [[Other]]* [[Psychosis]]* [[Shifter]]||* [[Signifying chain]]* [[Speech]]* [[Split]]||* [[Statement]]* [[Subject]]* [[Unconscious]]{{Also}}
