The point [[Lacan]] draws attention to in his use of this term is the way that [[speech]] can radically transform both the speaker and the addressee in the act of utterance.
Lacan's two favorate examples of this are the phrases "You are my master/teacher (''maItremaître'')" and "You are my wife," which serve to position the speaker as "pupil' and "husband" respectively.
In order words, the crucial aspect of [[founding speech]] is that it not only transforms the [[other]] but also transforms the [[subject]].<ref>{{E}} p. 85</ref>
