There are a few allusions to [[Saussure]],<ref>{{S1}} p. 248</ref> but in his famous "[[Rome Discourse]]" [[Lacan]] establishes an opposition between ''[[parole]]'' and ''[[language|langage]]'' (and not, as [[Saussure]] does, between ''[[parole]]'' and ''[[language|langue]]''.<ref>{{L}}. "''Fonction et champ de la parole et du langage en psychanalyse.''" 1953a. In {{E}} p. 237-322. ("The function and field of speech and language in psychoanalysis.") In {{E}}. p. 30-113</ref>
====="The Unconscious is Structured like a Language"=====
Between 1955 and 1970 [[language]] takes center stage and [[Lacan]] develops his classic thesis that "the unconscious is structured like a language."<ref>{{S11}} p. 20</ref>
<blockquote>"Language is without doubt made of ''lalangue''. It is an elucubration of [[knowledge]] (''[[knowledge|savoir]]'') about ''lalangue''.<ref>{{S20}} p. 127</ref></blockquote>
=====Lacanian Psychoanalysis========The Primary Importance of ==Language in Psychoanalytic Analytic Treament=====
It is the emphasis placed by [[Lacan]]ian [[psychoanalysis]] that is usually regarded as its most distinctive feature.
One consequence of [[Lacan]]'s emphasis on [[language]] is his recommendation that the [[analyst]] must attend to the formal features of the [[analysand]]'s [[speech]] (the [[signifiers]]), and not be sidetracked into an empathic attitude baseed on an [[imaginary]] understanding of the content (the [[signified]]).
=====Symbolic and Imaginary Dimensions=====
One common misconception of [[Lacan]] is that [[language]] is synonymous with the [[symbolic]] [[order]].
