Definition
言说 is a literary verb meaning 'to speak, to talk about' something. It is used in formal or written contexts. Note that the pinyin given (yán shuì) is uncommon; the standard modern reading for the sense of 'speaking' is yán shuō. This word is often found in philosophical or analytical texts, not in everyday conversation.
