ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with how Jacques Lacan redefines the two levels, originally defined by R. Jakobson, of the enunciation and the enunciated or the statement. It discusses why study of enunciation necessitates an examination of the real that cannot be reduced, either to a discourse analysis of the statement, or to a content analysis of the imaginary reality signified by the statement. The chapter explains why Lacan decided to temporally contextualize the real subject of the enunciation, as a subject that will have existed by the fact of the enunciation. Through the concrete psychology that characterizes the enunciating subject of an enunciated statement, Lacanian Discourse Analysis should reveal the incarnate real structure of the symbolic form in the analyzed discourse. The enunciating act generates a particular truth of the universal wisdom, while the enunciated fact simply regenerates this wisdom, which makes it possible to imagine a reality.
