Through its vector power of human being’s social experience, speech tells and makes the world that configures it in return. As such, it unfolds in diverse operational modalities that question its status(es). The purpose of this paper is to share some speech experiences in interaction situations. In so doing, it reminds us that, under the prism of its phenomenology, speech is infinitely plural and always linked to challenges, even where there seem to be none a priori. Meta-religious speech, speech dedicated to libation, profane speech and public speech are the “case studies” of this communication.
