The term '[[sign]] ' (''signe'') is defined by [[Jacques Lacan]] as that which "represents something for someone." The [[signifier]] is "that which represents a subject for another signifier."<ref>S11, 207</ref>
By engaging with the concept of the sign, Lacan sets his work in close relation to the science of semiotics, which has grown rapidly in the twentieth century.
