enunciative modality

is the field of regularity for the various possible subject positions and institutional sites in a situation.

It is the field of regularity for various subject positions. In order to establish them, it is necessary to 1) identify who is speaking... 2) describe the institutional sites from which discourse derives its legitimate source and points of application... and 3) the positions of the subject that is possible for him to occupy in relation to the various domains or group of objects (see'Grids of subject positions'). The dispersion of enunciative modalities is manifested through the various statuses, the various sites, the various positions that a subject can occupy or be given when making a discourse. (net)
