Discourse

Please give us a THUMBS UP if you like our videos!!!

An enouncement (from French l’énoncé, meaning "the statement") is not a unit of
semiotic signs, but an abstract construct that allows the signs to assign and
communicate specific, repeatable relations to, between, and among objects,
subjects, and statements. Hence, a discourse is composed of semiotic
sequences (relations among signs) between and among objects, subjects, and
statements. The term discursive formation conceptually describes the regular
communications (written and spoken) that produce such discourses. As a
philosopher, Foucault applied the discursive formation in the analyses of large
bodies of knowledge, such as political economy and natural history.
