Automatic Discourse Analysis (1969) |
| •Enunciation is removed from theorization and reduced to an instrument of linguistic analysis of the discursive surface. |

Langue, 'langage', discours (1971) |
•Enunciation, conceived as a set of internal mechanisms based on the linguistic basis that make possible the realization of the discursive processes on it, is heralded as the decisive point for the future of the relations between the already consolidated theory of language and the emerging theory of discourse. •Enunciation is a condition for the possibility of articulating discursive processes (semantic, rhetorical and pragmatic variables) on the linguistic basis (invariant syntactic background).
•Enunciation is a condition for the possibility of the taking up of position of the "speaking subject" regarding the social representations of which he is the support, which refers to the relationship between the discursive process and its conditions of production.
•Enunciation, as a general condition for the possibility of discursive processes, is located in a border area, common to language and syntax, on the one hand, and discourse and semantics, on the other, so that the study of enunciative mechanisms - which allow the passage from the linguistic to the discursive - will probably make it possible to put it in an appropriate way and perhaps solve the problem of the relations between the syntactic and the semantic. |
| La Semantique et la coupure saussurienne: langue, langage, discours(1971) |
•Enunciation is a set of internal mechanisms based on the linguistic basis that articulate the discursive processes on it, relating, on the one hand, to the utterance (linguistically analyzable materiality) and, on the other, to social representations (imaginary projections materially realized by the utterance).
•Enunciation is a series of mechanisms that manage the organization of the terms in a discursive sequence (utterance), depending on the conditions in which this sequence is produced, which, in turn, is seen as the necessary materiality for the manifestation of the taking up of position of the "speaking subject" in relation to social representations. |

Overview and Prospects (1975) |
•Enunciation is a series of successive determinations that little by little constitute the utterance and delimit the boundaries between the said (the selected) and the unsaid (the rejected).
•Enunciation is a mediating instance of the relationship between syntax and discourse, as it operates the transition from the linguistic organization (by allowing the syntagmatization of lexical units) to the discursive order (by allowing the subject's taking up of position regarding the representations put into play in social relations), thus, making language the material site for realizing the meaning-effects.
•Enunciation, linked to forgetting 2, is a zone in which the subject can consciously penetrate, characterized by a pre-conscious/conscious functioning by making possible the subject's return over his own speech, an anticipation of its effect, an attempt to make explicit or reformulate his own saying.
•Enunciation is an imaginary subjective space that assures the subject his displacements within the reformulable, so that he makes incessant returns on what he formulates. |

Language, Semantics and Ideology: Stating the Obvious(1975) |
•Enunciation is a set of mechanisms that are, simultaneously, linguistic phenomena and places of philosophical reflection and which enable the realization, on the same linguistic basis, of distinct and ideologically determined discursive processes.
• Enunciation is a constitutive instance of the subject and of the meaning, since the preconstructed and the articulation of utterances, as elements of the interdiscourse and traces of the enunciative references, are re-inscribed in the subject's discourse, configuring in the discursive thread the traces of what determines the subject and, nevertheless, is unknown by him.
• Enunciation is the subject's taking up of position in the discourse by being crossed by the interdiscourse, whose determination is masked by the subject-form, which, by incorporating and concealing the interdiscursive elements in the subject's discourse, produces in this subject the illusion of being in his own origin and of being the source of meaning, thus founding his imaginary unity
•Enunciation is a linguistic imaginary, a verbal body constituted in the reformulation-paraphrase space characteristic of a DF and whose functioning conceals from the subject identified to such DF the constitutive exteriority of this DF (his interdiscourse), thus making him forget what determines him, as if it were an interior without exterior (forgetting 1), and also making him forget that there are other possible meanings, as if the meaning were a naturalized and transparent significance (forgetting 2). |
