Abstract

Abstract The concept of ‘enunciation’ was developed very early in Per Aage Brandt’s work. Giving Saussure’s semiology a prominent position, Brandt’s enunciation model became the basis for further development of a psychosemiotic model that was used in the analysis of persons in traumatized and psychotic states of mind. This paper describes this development and its claim that the enunciative, spoken words, statements or narrations, in which the enunciation is more or less silently embedded, is anchored or embedded in internal communicative components, which in themselves can be said to be enunciatively structured. These components will be described in detail as well as their characteristics encompassing the imaginary and symbolic dimensions of language.
