I am trying to find Foucault's notions of discourse in a sense of logic. How can I do this in Logos? Cotterell and Turner's Linguistics and Biblical Interpretation:
A speaker may keep referring to his Uncle's bike, but (having formally introduced it earlier, as it were) now speaks of it as 'the bike'. Because the expression 'the bike' now still refers to Uncle George's old red one, this is all included in the concept denoted by the expression 'the bike' in the speaker's discourse, even though it is not properly part of the sense of 'the bike' as such. We need to distinguish here between what we might call the Lexical concepts (i.e. the sense of the respective lexical units) and discourse concepts - the latter being used to denote not only the lexical sense of the expressions involved, but also germane elements of meaning contributed by the context. Oldness, redness, and to-Uncle-George-belongingness would not be part of the lexical concept "bike", but would belong to the discourse concept 'the bike' in this particular situation
