ABSTRACT

Between the generality of the meaning of words…and… the uniqueness of the acoustic event which occurs when an utterance is proffered, there takes place a process that permits the linkage of the two, which we call enunciation. This process does not suppose the existence of two physical bodies…but the presence of two (or more) social entities…. The time and the space in which enunciation occurs also aren't purely physical categories, but a historical time and social space.
