=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====''Langue'' and ''Parole''=====
=====Concept of the Sign=====
This led him to develop his famous distinction between ''[[langue]]'' and ''[[parole]]'', and his concept of the [[sign]] as composed of two elements: [[signifier]] and [[signified]].
====="Course in General Linguistics"=====
=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====Language as Structure, System of Signifiers=====
From [[Saussure]], [[Lacan]] borrows the concepts of [[language]] as a [[structure]], although whereas [[Saussure]] had conceived it as a sytem system of [[sign]]s, [[Lacan]] conceives it as a system of [[signifier]]s.
=====Metaphor and Metonymy=====
From [[Jakobson]], [[Lacan]] borrows the concepts of [[metaphor]] and [[metonymy] as the two axes ([[synchronic]] and [[diachronic]]) along which all [[linguistics|linguistic phenomena ]] are aligned, using these terms to understand [[Freud]]'s concepts of [[condensation]] and [[displacement]].
=====Other Linguistics Concepts=====
=====Linguistics and Psychoanalytic Theory=====
=====Psychoanalytic Use of Linguistic Concepts=====
In his borrowing of [[linguistic ]] [[:category:concepts|concepts]], [[Lacan]] has been accused of grossly distorting them.
[[Lacan]] responds to such criticisms by arguing that he is not doing [[linguistics]] but [[psychoanalysis]], and this requires a certain modification of the concepts borrowed from [[linguistics]].
In the end, [[Lacan]] is not really interested in [[linguistics|linguistic theory]] in itself, but only in the ways it can be used to develop [[psychoanalytic theory]].<ref>{{L}} 1970-71. ''[[Seminar XVIII|Le Seminaire. Livre XVIII. D'un discours qui ne serait pas du semblant, 1970-71]]'', unpublished. [[Seminar]] of 27 January 1971.</ref>
It was this that led [[Lacan]] to coin the neologism ''[[linguistics|linguistérie]]'' (from the words ''[[linguistics|linguistique]]'' and ''[[hysteria|hystérie]]'') to refer to his psychoanalytic use of linguistic concepts.<ref>{{S20}} p.20</ref>
