D'où, de qui, ou comment vient le sens en discours

Abstract

We examine different approaches to discourse and enunciation, and try to integrate them into a single movement of analysis of the production of meaning in discourse. We investigate in particular, analyses focused on discourse (as a process) or discourses (as a corpus of texts), and theories focused on the process of enunciation, or the manifestation of this enunciation. With these different research perspectives, we can find some complementarity because they offer different aspects of the same activity, production of meaning in discourse. We illustrate the conception with a short textual analysis, and finally propose a phenomenological point of view to make the different levels in coherence.
