Description
Summary:This paper aims at delineating a brief epistemological overview of the notion of subject in the theoretical science of language. Paying attention to epistemological movements proposed by Domingues (1999) in the humanities, it is proposed a discussion about the place of subject in the theoretical and conceptual Modern Linguistics field, from its foundation as a science, by Ferdinand de Saussure, passing through the generative theory, functionalist and enunciative proposes, until reaching the discourse theory proposed by Pêcheux, a theoretical space whose foundations about the notion of subject are the main point of discussion. The  objective here is, through a brief overview and a discursive collation, to highlight the movements of rubbing out/pointing out, unifying/dispersing the subject in the language world, showing the theoretical displacements that French Discourse Analysis promoted throughthe epistemological conjunction of its constitution as a discourse theory, centered on the vertices of Marxism, Linguistics and Psycho analysis.
