Abstract Focussing on the intrinsic amalgamation or interpenetration between the processes of mediatisation, enunciation and décalage [semiotic 'out-of-phase-ness' or 'out-of-joint-ness'], this paper argues that Eliseo Verón's concept of mediatisation attempts to account for a process of veritable rupture in the ontological as well as the epistemological status of modern societies' structuration. Its principal aim is to trace what is considered to be one of the major historico-theoretical theses that traverses Verón's oeuvre, by means of exploring two genealogical lines of analysis: (a) on the one hand, mediatisation as the condition of possibility for the emergence of a ternary way of thinking about language and meaning (i.e. the so-called 'triadic models' of the sign), and (b) conversely, the concept of décalage [semiotic gap or constitutive interval in meaning-making processes] between production and recognition/reception -the constitutive kernel of meaning- is examined as the argumentative surface of emergence of Verón's concept of 'mediatisation'. From a chronological viewpoint, however, the concept of décalage antedates, in the course of his work, that of mediatisation: the latter was, in effect, not elaborated as such until the 1980s and 1990s, whereas the former had been formulated, and further developed in the historical process of his thought, since at least the mid-1970s. The article argues that: (a) the concept of mediatisation could only emerge from another concept (i.e. décalage) that was not only interdependent, but which also preceded it both logically and genealogically; and (b) Verón's conception of language and meaning is also inseparable from that of mediatisation.
