==Signification==

The term thus emphasizes the different ways in which [[Saussure]] and [[Lacan]] conceive of [[signification]]; for [[Saussure]], [[signification]] was a stable bond between [[signifier]] and [[signified]], but for [[Lacan]] it is an unstable, fluid relationship.

It is impossible to establish a stable one-to-one link between [[signifier]]s and [[signified]]s, and [[Lacan]] symbolizes this by inscribing a [[bar]] between them in the [[Saussurean algorithm]].

When there are not enough ''[[points de capiton]]'', as is in the case in [[psychosis]], the slippery movement of [[signification]] is endless, and stable [[meaning]]s dissolve altogether.
