Abstract

Having as a starting point Saussure’s studies on the sign and the praxis dimension of language, this article discusses the organization of a theory of semiotic enunciation and, more precisely, the concept of enunciative praxis. Such notion refers to the operations that, by assuming the system of narrative deep structures, produce semiotic configurations sufficiently stabilized to be available for other uses. These configurations are understood in a constant movement of reshaping of forms, which is therefore responsible for discourse renewal.
