The transformation of the language system (langue) into a concrete act of discourse/expression; the performative dimension encompassing the questions 'who is speaking, to whom, where, when, and why?'. For Benveniste, enunciation is the process that introduces the subject and the situation into language; the subject is positioned through the orientation of 'I/we' toward 'you'. This shift moves the focus of linguistics from mere structure to discourse and the conditions of utterance, preparing the ground for a transition from structuralism to a discourse-centered conception of language.
