In this paper, we intend to study the enunciation characteristics in Yasns 9 and 10 of the Avesta. Yasns have three important chapters. Their language is one of the most featured and oldest parts of the Avesta. The Yasns are divided into 72 parts or Ha. One of the features of enunciation is the use of pronouns and verb endings as grammatical morphemes being differently applied. First-person singular, first person plural, third person plural etc. This change is constant and cause the conjunctive and disjunctive features (shifters) that contribute to meaning process. On the other hand, modal verbs such as want, Can, Must, etc play an important role in the production of meaning of the speech. The method used is the semiotics of the Paris school. The objective of this research is to show how meaning occurs and what are the modes of enunciation in Yasns 9 and 10 of the Avesta.
