In this study, human speech in the French language is reconsidered in the light of enactivism, embodiment and interactive participation in the consensual domain of interactions. After a brief presentation of the basic concepts, the paper shows how an enactive outlook on the language affects our understanding and teaching of its particular grammar (with the examples of the determiners and verb tenses) along with those of pronunciation. Emphasis is laid on the experience of interactive practices and learning in their socio-psychological and intercultural dimensions.
