=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====Code and Language=====
However, [[Lacan]] draws an important distinction between the concepts of [[language]] and [[code]].<ref>{{E}} p84p. 84</ref>
[[Code]]s are the province of [[animal]] [[communication]], not of [[intersubjectivity|intersubjective]] [[communication]].
=====Ambiguity and Equivocation=====
Because of the bi-univocal relation of [[indices]] and [[referent]]s, [[code]]s lack what [[Lacan]] regards as the fundamental feature of [[human]] [[language]]s: the potential for ambiguity and equivocation.<ref>{{L}} (1973b) '"[[Works of Jacques Lacan|L'Étourdit']]", ''Scilicet'', no. 4, 1973. pp. 5-52.</ref>
[[Lacan]] is not always consistent in maintaining this opposition between [[code]] and [[language]].
