philgoddard Jan 25, 2019:
I agree with writeaway about the lack of context, though not about the proofreading. It does seem that "enunciative erasure" works, but it would be nice to know what it means. It's probably explained in the surrounding text.
Niedz (asker) Jan 25, 2019:
I'm not trying to use this to proofread, not sure why you'd think that.
katsy Jan 25, 2019:
google Has a number of references to "enunciative erasure", which will no doubt help you
writeaway Jan 25, 2019:
Speaking of context, what is the context? When was this written, by whom (ie profession) and for what occasion? Is this a PhD thesis or what?
writeaway Jan 25, 2019:
Kudoz is for help with terms not a free proofreading service. If you want someone to proofread the translation, it can be posted as a job.

enunciative erasure

You're right, that seems to be the correct term.
It is "a process that has the effect of objectivising discourse".
