Discourse of the Other
The term "discourse" is used by Lacan to emphasize the transindividual nature of language, the fact that speech always implies another subject, an interlocutor.
The unconscious is the "discourse of the Other", or the effect on the subject of speech that is addressed to that subject from elsewhere, by another subject (who has been forgotten), by an other scene or psychic locality.
Social Bond
In 1969, Lacan begins to use the term "discourse" to denote "a social bond, founded in language."
He identifies four possible types of social bond, four possible articulations of the symbolic network which regulates intersubjective relations
