=====Translator's Note=====
The [[distinction ]] between "''énoncé''" and "''énonciation''" is a common one in contemporary [[French ]] [[thinking]].
"''Énoncé''", which is translated as "[[statement]]", refers to the actual [[words ]] uttered, "''énonciation''" to the act of uttering [[them]].
=====Enunciation and Statement=====
In [[linguistics|linguistic theory]] in [[Europe]], one important distinction is that between the [[enunciation]] and the [[statement]].
The [[statement]] refers to the actual words uttered; the [[enunciation]] refers to the act of uttering them.
=====Statement=====
A [[statement]] is [[speech]] analysed in [[terms ]] of its abstract [[grammatical ]] units, independent of the specific circumstances of occurrence.
=====Enunciation=====
An [[enunciation]] is [[speech]] [[analyzed ]] as an [[individual ]] act performed by a [[particular ]] [[speaker ]] at a specific [[time ]] / [[place]], and in a specific [[situation]].
=====Jacques Lacan=====
In 1936, for example, he stresses that the act of [[speech|speaking]] contains a [[meaning]] in itself, even if the words spoken are "[[signification|meaningless]]."<ref>{{Ec}} p.83</ref>
Prior to any function it may have in "conveying a [[message]]," [[speech]] is an appeal to the [[other]].
This attention to the act of [[speech|speaking]] in itself, irrespective of the [[content ]] of the utterance, anticipates [[Lacan]]'s attention to the [[dimension ]] of the [[enunciation]].
=====Psychotic Language=====
=====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>{{S11}} p.139</ref>
