Popular Education (PE) is a pedagogy that appears on the social web of Latin America. From the point of view of historical experience, its principles underpin the grassroots work in the 1960s and 1970s, as Freire (1987), Brandão (2006) and Carrillo (2013) state. This paper shares some results of the doctoral thesis Elements for an Enunciative Theory of Popular Education. Its general aim is to introduce syntactic elements for the formulation of an enunciative theory of PE. At the theoretical/methodological level, the analysis is based on some of Michel Foucault's ideas (2008) and is focused on the constitutive elements in a set of PE statements. From this analysis comes the idea that discourse cuts across the linguistic and socio historical layer of these utterances. The discourse analysed produces ways of talking, articulating and writing about PE, identifiable through a series of signs linked to PE. The results point out, therefore, that the discourse of PE in Latin America is based on a series of ethical, political and epistemological principles that give it a particular mode of existence.
