English
Noun
locutor (plural locutors)
- A speaker (one who talks).
- 1984, Urban Pidgins and Creoles: Papers from the York Creole Conference:
- A position that solely insinuates a down-grading effect in the use of FT, engenders the impression of reducing the native locutor to a "sociolinguistic automaton" (Smith/Giles 1978: 10) that reflects a one-to-one relationship between ethnic bias and linguistic output.
- 2006, Alan J. E. Wolf, Subjectivity in a Second Language: Conveying the Expression of Self (→ISBN), page 186:
- In conclusion, learners conveyed subjectivity by means of the diegetic present and the foregrounded imperfect but did so less frequently and in shorter stretches of text than native speakers in the expression of the native locutor's subjective involvement with his own discourse.

- We think of locutors' interactions as exchanges of conversational objects (COs). A conversational object is a mental attitude (belief, goal, wish, etc.) along with a positioning which a narrator transfers to another locutor during a conversation [13]. The locutor positions herself relative to a mental attitude by performing actions like "proposing", "accepting", "rejecting"; this is called the locutor's positioning relative to that mental attitude.
