Açıklama

The subject positioned as 'I' in language and performing the act of enunciation. The speaking subject is neither merely a psychological individual nor an abstract linguistic point, but the figure of the 'human in language,' embedded in culture and society. Through pronouns and deictic forms, this subject constitutes both itself and its addressee, thereby introducing subjectivity and the anthropological dimension into linguistics.
