This article presents the notion of enunciative effacement, which functions as a continuum, according to the degrees of production of lexical and indexical marks by the speaker. Enunciative effacement allows the speaker to efface himself from what he says, bringing about varied pragmatic effects. This possibility relies on the disconnection between speaker and enunciator, and especially on the existence of intratextual enunciators at the origin of points of view, which are not necessary spoken. In reported speech, the different types of speaker/enunciator’s effacement quoting or quoted in the interactive construction of points of view correspond to enunciative postures: the coenunciators co-produce a shared point of view, the superenunciator (the most often, the speaker who quotes) imposes his point of view on others, while the subenunciator constructs his point of view with reference to a dominant enunciator (most often, the quoted speaker).
