===The Punctuation of a Signifying Chain===
To [[punctuate]] a [[signifying chain]] is to produce [[meaning]]. Before [[punctuation]], there is simply a [[chain]] of [[discourse]]. It is the [[punctuation|listener]]/[[punctuation|receiver]] who [[punctuates]] this [[discourse]] and thereby sanctions [[retroactively]] one [[particular]] [[meaning]] of an [[utterance]].
The [[punctuation]] of the [[signifying chain]] is that which creates the [[illusion]] of a fixed [[meaning]]:
<blockquote>"The [[punctuation]], once inserted, fixes the [[meaning]]."<ref>{{E}} p. 99</ref></blockquote>
The operation of [[punctuation]] may be illustrated by reference to two situations which are of fundamental importance to [[psychoanalysis]]: the [[mother]]-[[child]] [[dual relation]], and the [[transference|transferential]] relation between [[analysand]] and [[analyst]].
====="Sessions of Variable Duration"==Psychoanalytic Treatment===Alternatively, the [[analyst]] can also [[Lacanpunctuate]] the [[analysand]]'s practice [[speech]] by a [[moment]] of [[punctuation|sessions of variable durationsilence]], or by interrupting the [[analysand]], or by terminating the [[session]] (at an opportune moment.<ref>{{E}} p. 44</ref> This last [[Frenchform]]: ''of [[punctuation|séances scandées]]'') came to be one has been a source of controversy throughout the main reasons that [[history]] of [[Lacan]]ian [[psychoanalysis]], since it contravenes the traditional [[IPA]] gave for excluding him when the [[SFPpractice]] was negotiating for of [[IPApunctuation|sessions of fixed duration]] recognition in the early 1960s.
==="Sessions of Variable Duration"===[[Lacan]]'s practice of [[punctuation|sessions of variable duration]] ([[French]]: ''[[punctuation|séances scandées]]'') came to be one of the main reasons that the [[IPA]] gave for excluding him when the [[SFP]] was negotiating for [[IPA]] [[recognition]] in the early 1960s. Today, the [[technique ]] of [[punctuation]], especially as expressed in the practice of [[punctuation|sessions of variable duration]], continues to be a distinctive feature of [[Lacanian]] [[psychoanalysis]].
