Great work {{Top}}[[signe]]{{Bottom}} ===Ferdinand de Saussure===[[Image:SAUSSUREANALGORITHM.gif|thumb|200px|right|The Saussurean Sign]]According to [[Saussure]], the [[sign]] is the basic unit of [[language]] The [[sign]] is constituted by two elements: # the [[signified]], a [[conceptual]] element (or [[concept]]), and pretty colors!# the [[signifier]], http://freea phonological element (or sound-lg-vx3100-ringtone[[image]]). The two elements are linked by an [[arbitrary]] but unbreakable bond.hi5 =====Saussurean Sign=====[[Saussure]] represented the [[sign]] by means of a diagram.com free LG vx3100 ringtones<ref>[[Saussure|Saussure, phxavFerdinand de]].

During the 1950s [[Lacan]] began to make us of [[Saussure]]'s [[concepts]] but adapted [[them]] inimportant ways.hi5 =====Relation between Signifier and Signified=====Firstly, whereas [[Saussure]] posited the reciprocal implication between [[signifier]] and [[signified]] (they are as mutually interdependent as two sides of a sheet of paper), [[Lacan]] argues that the relation between [[signifier]] and [[signified]] is extremely unstable.com free phone ringtones infared, =====Primacy of the Signifier=====((Secondly, http://free-phone-ringtones-[[Lacan]] asserts the [[existence]] of anorder of "pure [[signifiers]]," where [[signifier]]s [[exist]] prior to [[signified]]s; this [[order]] of purely [[logical]] [[structure]] is the [[unconscious]].hi5This amounts to a [[destruction]] of [[Saussure]]'s concept of the [[sign]]; for [[Lacan]], a [[language]] is not composed of [[sign]]s but of [[signifier]]s.com free phone ringtones =====Saussurean algorithm=====[[Image:SAUSSUREANALGORITHM.gif|right|thumb|Saussurean algorithm|The Saussurean algorithm]] To illustrate the contrast between his own views and wallpapersthose of [[Saussure]], [[Lacan]] replaces [[Saussure]]'s diagram of the [[sign]] with an [[Saussurean algorithm|algorithm]] which, :OOO[[Lacan]] argues, http://freeshould be attributed to [[Saussure]] -phone-ringtones-onand is thus now sometimes referred to as the "[[Saussure]]an algorithm.hi5"<ref>{{E}} p.com free phone ringtones online149</ref> The '''S''' stands for the [[signifier]], and the '''s''' for the [[signified]]; the [[position]] of the [[signified]] and the [[signifier]] is thus inverted, 1789showing the primacy of the [[signifier]] (which is capitalized, http://freewhereas the [[signifier]] is reduced to mere lower-pink-panther-ringt[[case]] italic). The arrows and the circle are abolished, representing the [[absence]] of a [[stable]] or fixed relation between [[signifier]] and [[signified]].hi5The [[bar]] between the [[signifier]] and the [[signified]] no longer represents union but the [[resistance]] inherent in [[signification]].com free pink panther ringtonesFor [[Lacan]], %-this [[algorithm]] defines "the [[topography]] of the [[, http:unconscious]]."<ref>{{E}} p. 163<//freeref> ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Enunciation]]* [[Index]]* [[Language]]||* [[Metaphor]]* [[Materialism]]* [[Signification]]||* [[Signified]]* [[Signifying Chain]]* [[Shifter]]||* [[Subject]]* [[Symbol]]* [[Symptom]]{{Also}} == References ==<div style="font-pinoysize:11px" class="references-ringtones.hi5.com free pinoy ringtones, 396, http:small"><references/></free-pirate-ringtones.hi5.com free pirate ringtones, div> [[Category:Psychoanalysis]][[Category:Jacques Lacan]][[Category:Linguistics]][[Category:Dictionary]][[Category:Language]][[Category:Symbolic]][[Category:Concepts]][[Category:Terms]][[Category:-D,OK]] __NOTOC____NOEDITSECTION__
