Mathemes
The main [[Lacan]]ian [[matheme]]s in order of their appearance are:
 
In 1955, he introduced what could be called his first [[matheme]], [[schema L]], illustrating the [[imaginary]] function of the [[ego]].
Originally used as teaching aids, these range from teh relatively simple 'schema l' illustrating the [[imaginary]] function of the [[ego]] in the 1955 paper on [[psychosis]] to the complex chart of the workings of [[desire]].
In [[Greek]], ''mathêma'' means "that which is taught."
# [[Schema L]] (1955), which identifies four points in the [[signifying chain]]: first, the unconscious, or the [[discourse]] of the [[Other]] (A), and then the [[subject]] (S), which in turn results from the relation between the [[ego]] (a) to the [[other]] (a) to the other (d).
# The [[formula]] of the [[signifier]] (1957), S/s, links the [[law]]s of the [[unconscious]] discovered by [[Freud]] to the [[law]]s of [[language]] ([[metaphor]] and [[metonymy]]).
