== The Symbolic Order Linguistics==According to As [[Jacques LacanRoman Jakobson]]showed with his [[analysis]] of [[phoneme]]s,all [[linguistic]] phenomena may be entirely characterized in [[terms]] of the [[absence|presence]] or [[absence]] of certain distinctive features.

The <!-- In the "[[fort-da]]" game, the [[child]] throws a cotton reel out of its cot in order to [[symbolic order|symbolize]] is characterized by a binary opposition between the [[absence]] and [[presence]] of the [[mother]].<ref>{{S4}} p [[Symbolic|Symbolization begins when the [[child]] gets its first [[sense]] that something could be [[missing]].67--8</ref> ==Word==In the [[symbolic order]], [[absence]] has a [[existence|positive existence]] or [[absence|presence]].

[[Lacan]] asserts <blockquote>"Through the mutual implication word, which is already a presence made of [[absence]] and [[presence]] in the [[symbolic]] [[order]], absence itself comes to be named."<ref>{{E}} p.65</ref></blockquote>

   In the [[symbolic order]] "nothing exists except upon an assumed foundation of absence."<ref>{{Ec}} p.392</ref>   [[Lacan]] argues that "there is no absence in the real. There is only absence if you suggest that there may be a presence there where there isn't one."<ref>{{S2}} p.313</ref>  As [[Roman Jakobson showed with his analysis ofphonemes, all linguistic phenomena may be netirely characterized in terms of the presence or absence of certain distinctive features.  == Fort-Da Phallus==According to [[Lacan]], It is around the game of [[fort-da]], introduced by [[Freud]] in "[[Beyond the Pleasure Principle," represents the [[childabsence|presence]]'s entrance into the [[symbolic]] [[order]]. The phonemic opposition - "fort" and "da" - are "a pair of sounds modulated on presence and absence."<ref>{{E}} p.65</ref> == Language ==The [[symbol]] is used in the [[absence]] of the thing. [[Lacanphallus]] argues that the [[wordsexual difference]] is a "presence made of absence."<ref>{{E}} p.65</ref> [[Absencesymbolically]] has a positive [[existence]] in apprehended by the [[symbolic]] as [[presence]]. [[Lacan]] argues that "the nothing" (''le rien'') is in itself an [[objectdevelopment|child]] (or '[[partial object]]').<ref>{{S4}} p.184-5</ref> == Sexual Difference== [[Sexual difference]] is apprehended by the [[child]] [[symbolic]]ally around the [[absence|presence]] and [[absence]] of the [[phallus]].
