==Symbolic==
The two sounds made by the [[development|child]], O/A, are "a pair of sounds modulated on [[presence]] and [[absence]], and these sounds are related "to the presence and absence of persons and things."<ref>{{E}} p.65, 109, n.46</ref>

[[Lacan]] argues that the [[word]] is a "presence made of absence."<ref>{{E}} p.65</ref> [[Absence]] has a positive [[existence]] in the [[symbolic]] as [[presence]]. [[Lacan]] argues that "the nothing" (''le rien'') is in itself an [[object]] (or '[[partial object]]').<ref>{{S4}} p.184-5</ref> ==Word== [[Lacan]] notes that the [[symbol]] -- or [[word]] -- is "a [[presence]] made of [[absence]]" -- because:
# the [[symbol]] is used in the [[absence]] of the [[thing]] and
# [[signifiers]] only exist insofar as they are opposed to other [[signifiers]].<ref>{{E}} p.65</ref>
 
<blockquote>"Through the word, which is already a presence made of absence, absence itself comes to be named."</blockquote>
