==Jacques Lacan==The term '"[[founding speech]]' (Fr.''" -- sometimes rendered "[[founding speech|parole fondantfoundational speech]]" -- emerges in Lacan'') is used by s [[work]] at the [[time]] of his growing attention to [[Jacques Lacanlanguage]] in his work during the early 1950s.<ref>{{L}}. "[[Works of Jacques Lacan|Fonction et champ de la parole et du langage en psychanalyse]].''" 1953a. In {{Ec}} p. 237-322. ("[[The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis|The Function and Field of Speech and Language in Psychoanalysis]].") In {{E}}. p. 30-113</ref>
==Transformation==
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 (''maître'')" 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>
The term <blockquote>"founding Founding speech" , which envelops the subject, is everything that has constituted him, his [[parents]], his neighbours, the [[whole]] [[structure]] of his [[community]], and not only constituted him as symboli (sometimes rendered "foundational speech"?) emerges , but constituted him in Lacan's work at the time of his growing attention to [[languagebeing]] in the early 1950s."<ref>{{S2}} p.20</ref></blockquote>
The point ==Elective and Votive Speech==[[Lacan draws attention ]] refers to the same function of [[speech]] as "elective speech" in his use the [[seminar]] of this term is 1955-6 and as "votive speech" in the [[seminar]] of 1956-7. [[Lacan]] plays on the homophony between ''tu es ma mère'' ("you are my [[mother]]") and ''tuer ma mère'' ("to kill my mother") to illustrate the way that the [[founding speech can radically transform both ]] addressed to the speaker and the addressee in the act of utteranceother may reveal a [[repression|repressed]] murderous [[desire]].<ref>{{E}} p.269</ref>
