Linguistic Dimension
The expression "[[imaginary|imaginary matrix]]" also implies an [[imaginary]] which is [[structure|structured­]] by the [[symbolic]],<ref>{{Ec}} p. 221</ref> and in 1964 [[Lacan]] discusses how the visual field is [[structure|structured­]] by [[symbolic]] [[law]]s.<ref>{{S11}} p. 91-2</ref>
=====Linguistic Dimension=====
The [[imaginary]] also involves a [[linguistics|linguistic dimension]].
Whereas the [[signifier]] is foundation of the [[symbolic order]], the [[signified]] and [[signification]] are part of [[imaginary|imaginary order]].
 
Thus [[language]] has both [[symbolic]] and [[imaginary]] aspects; in its [[imaginary]] aspect, [[language]] is the "wall of language" which inverts and distorts the [[discourse]] of the [[Other]].
