The enunciator is the one who receives and decodes a message issued by the enunciator.
The concept of enunciator is used in the field of communication theory . The term is used to name the individual who receives the message emitted by an enunciator and decodes it .
The enunciator , therefore, is the one who issues a message . This is the person responsible for starting the communication process. For this process to take place, the message needs to reach a recipient : a receiver . The enunciator is that receiver who, upon receiving the speech emitted by the enunciator, is responsible for its decoding and thus the interaction can occur.
The role of the enunciator
In this way, the enunciator establishes himself as such by interpreting and understanding the message . What the enunciator does is convert these contents into something new, since he uses them in his reinterpretation.
If the enunciator responds, he or she becomes positioned as an enunciator, while the first enunciator then becomes an enunciator. The roles in communication, in this framework, are frequently exchanged according to the development of the process.
An example
Suppose a man , on the street, says to another: “Excuse me, could you tell me where the museum is?” . In this case, the one who asks the question is the speaker, while the one who listens to it is the speaker. When the second subject answers , “I would like to help you, but what museum are you referring to specifically?” , roles are exchanged and the communication process advances with the talk:
– “To the museum of natural sciences”
– “Ah, yes, it is on the other side of the square”
– “Perfect, thank you very much for the information!”
– “You're welcome, enjoy your visit!”
As can be seen, this dynamic between enunciator and enunciator takes place every day, in almost all areas of society. As long as there are at least two individuals communicating with each other, this role exchange will occur so that communication can take place.
The usual thing is that, in a conversation, the enunciator and the enunciator exchange roles several times.
Recognizing the speaker
The degree of complexity, on the other hand, can also be variable. It is enough to place ourselves in a classroom with thirty students and a teacher in which a discussion about a given topic is carried out: intermittently and in turns , many of these individuals acquire the role of enunciators to express their point of view, while all the others are declarative for several seconds or minutes, until they decide to ask a question or add something.
If a relatively heated discussion breaks out because of the incompatibility between different opinions, then it will be much more difficult to distinguish the enunciators from the enunciators in those moments that are characterized by noise. This shows us that theory is usually presented with moderate situations so that it is easy to understand, but on a day-to-day basis the conversations are not usually so orderly or leisurely.
Some considerations
We must make a series of clarifications. First of all, it is important to highlight that the speaker must be able to decode the message , in addition to receiving it. This means that your presence in front of the sender during the production of the message is not enough, but you must have the tools to make your contribution to the communication cycle. In other words, we would not say that a one-month-old baby can be the enunciator of a philosophy professor, since he is still too young to understand her messages and respond to them with others.
On the other hand, the role of the enunciator does not always arise spontaneously: while in a conversation on the street, such as that of the man who asks a passer-by where the museum is, there is no plan designed in advance, during a oral exam in front of a table of teachers, the reality is totally different.
