The "I" of a sentence such as "I went to the store" is a different entity from the subject who speaks the sentence.
The "I" within the sentence is an 'empty' marker
The subject who enunciates (you/me) isn't the same as the subject of enunciation (the "I" in the sentence),
Anyone could say the sentence, "I went to the store" and it would 'mean' them
In the meaning-field, meaning occurs by difference, not by identity
As we acquire language we enter a flow of meaning which has two broad configurations:
i) Language is an independent system of differentiations
ii) Language is a storehouse of cultural meaning,
This had led to the idea, articulated by the philosopher Heidegger and others, that humans do not speak language, language speaks us.
