The singular unit ved’ belongs to the class of discursive markers (DM) named “particles”. Although ved’ has no exact equivalents in other languages, its semantic identity can be defined through the description of the regular discursive processes at work with this DM. The discursive semantics of this particle unfolds onto two levels. First, it sets up the opposition p/p’, where p, enunciative scope of ved’, is a referential value and p’, explicitly or implicitly present in the context, is in different degrees its competitive value. Then, ved’ operates the resorption of the alterity p/p’ through its etymological value intrinsically linked with the notion of knowledge. Presented retroactively as an “objective knowledge”, p is an argument which makes it possible to transform a subjective representation of the situation Z into an objective representation and deprives p’ of all its legitimacy.
