==Ferdinand de Saussure==According to [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] is the [[conceptual]] element of the [[sign]]. It is not the [[real ]] [[object]] denoted by a [[sign]] (-- the [[referent]]), -- but a [[psychological]] entity corresponding to such an [[object]].<ref>[[Saussure|Saussure, Ferdinand de]]. ''[[Saussure|Course in General Linguistics]]'', ed. Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, trans. Wade Baskin, Glasgow: Collins Fontana. 1916. p.66-7)</ref> For [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] has the same status as the [[signifier]]; both form equal sides of the [[sign]].
==Jacques Lacan==
===Primacy of the Signifier===For [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] has the same status as the [[signifier]]; both [[form]] equal sides of the [[sign]]. [[Lacan]] , on the [[other]] hand, asserts the primacy of the [[signifier]], and argues that the [[signified]] is a mere effect of the play of [[signifier]]s, an effect of the [[process]] of [[signification]] produced by [[metaphor]]. In other [[words]], the [[signified]] is not given, but produced.
