=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====Early Work=====
While [[Lacan]]s interest in [[language]] can be traced back to the early 1930s, when he [[analyzed]] the [[writing]]s of a [[psychotic]] [[woman]] in his [[doctoral dissertation]], it is only in the early 1950s that he begins to articulate his views of [[language]] in [[terms]] derived from a specific [[linguistics|linguistic theory]], and not until 1957 that he begins to engage with [[linguistics]] in any detail.
=====Structural Linguistics==========Claude Lévi-Strauss=====[[Lacan]]'s "linguistic turn"was inspired by the [[anthropology|anthropological]] [[work]] of [[Claude Lévi-Strauss]] who, in the 1940s, had begun to apply the methods of [[structure|structural]] [[linguistics]]" to non-linguistic [[cultural]] data ([[Frmyth]], kinship relations, etc. ''), thus giving brith to "[[structural]] [[linguistiqueanthropology]]'')."
In so doing, [[Lévi-Strauss]] announced an ambitious programme, in which [[linguistics]] would provide a paradigm of [[science|scientificity]] for all the [[social]] [[sciences]]:
While <blockquote>"Structural linguistics will certainly play the same renovating [[Lacanrole]]s interest in with respect to the social sciences that nuclear [[languagephysics]] can be traced back to the early 1930s, when he analyzed for example, has played for the writings of a [[psychoticphysical]] sciences."<ref>[[womanClaude Lévi-Strauss|Lévi-Strauss, Claude]] in his doctoral dissertation, it is only in the early 1950s that he begins to articulate his views of . 1945.

=====Jacques Lacan==========Psychoanalytic Theory=====Following the indications of [[Lévi--Strauss]], [[Lacan]] turns to [[linguistics]] to provide [[psychoanalytic theory]] with a [[conceptual]] rigour that it previously lacked.
The [[Lacanreason]]'s "linguistic turn" was inspired by the for this [[anthropology|anthropologicallack]] work of conceptual rigour was simply due, [[Claude Lévi-StraussLacan]] whoargues, in the 1940s, had begun to apply the methods of fact that [[structurelinguistics|structurallinguistics]] appeared too late for [[linguisticsFreud]] to non-linguistic cultural data (myth, kinship relations, etc.), thus giving brith to "structural anthropologymake use of it."
In so doing=====Sigmund Freud=====However, [[Lévi-StraussLacan]] announced an ambitious programme, argues that when [[Freud]] is reread in which the light of [[linguistics|linguistic theory]] would provide , a paradigm coherent [[logic]] is revealed which is not otherwise [[apparent]]; indeed, [[Freud]] can even be seen to have anticipated certain elements of modern [[sciencelinguistics|scientificitylinguistic theory]] for all the social sciences:.<ref>{{E}} p.162</ref>
<blockquote>"=====Structural Linguistics=====[[Lacan]]'s engagement with [[linguistics will certainly play ]] revolves almost entirely aorund the work of [[Ferdinand de Saussure]] and [[Roman Jakobson]]. =====Ferdinand de Saussure=====[[Saussure]] was the same renovating role with respect founder of "[[linguistics|structural linguistics]]." =====Diachronic and Synchronic=====In contrast to the social sciences study of [[language]] in the nineteenth century, which had been exclusively "[[diachronic]]" (i.e. focusing exclusively on the ways that nuclear physics[[language]]s [[change]] over [[time]]), for example[[Saussure]] argued that linguists should also be "[[synchronic]]" (i.e. focus on the [[state]] of a [[language]] at a given point in [[time]]). =====''Langue'' and ''Parole''==========Concept of the Sign=====This led him to develop his famous [[distinction]] between ''[[langue]]'' and ''[[parole]]'', has played for and his [[concept]] of the physical sciences[[sign]] as composed of two elements: [[signifier]] and [[signified]]. ====="Course in General Linguistics"=====All these [[ideas]] are developed in [[Saussure]]'s most famous work, the "Course in General Linguistics," which was constructed by his students from [[notes]] they had taken at [[Saussure]]'s lectures at the Unviersity of Geneva and published [[three]] years after his [[death]].<ref>Levi-Strauss[[Saussure|Saussure, Ferdinand de]]. (1916) ''[[Saussure|Course in General Linguistics]]'', ed. Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, trans. 1945Wade Baskin, Glasgow: Collins Fontana. p.33114</ref> =====Roman Jakobson=====[[Jakobson]] further developed the line laid down by [[Saussure]], pioneering the [[development]] of phonology, as well as making important contributions to the fields of [[grammatical]] semantics, pragmatics and poetics. =====Jacques Lacan==========Language as Structure, System of Signifiers=====From [[Saussure]], [[Lacan]] borrows the [[concepts]] of [[language]] as a [[structure]], although whereas [[Saussure]] had conceived it as a [[system]] of [[sign]]s, [[Lacan]] conceives it as a system of [[signifier]]s. =====Metaphor and Metonymy=====From [[Jakobson]], [[Lacan]] borrows the concepts of [[metaphor]] and [[metonymy]] as the two axes ([[synchronic]] and [[diachronic]]) along which all [[linguistics|linguistic phenomena]] are aligned, using these terms to [[understand]] [[Freud]]'s concepts of [[condensation]] and [[displacement]]. =====Other Linguistics Concepts=====[[Other]] concepts which [[Lacan]] takes from [[linguistics]] are those of the [[shifter]], and the distinction betwen the [[statement]] and the [[enunciation]]. =====Linguistics and Psychoanalytic Theory==========Psychoanalytic Use of Linguistic Concepts=====In his borrowing of [[linguistic]] [[:category:concepts|concepts]], [[Lacan]] has been accused of grossly distorting [[them]]. [[Lacan]] responds to such criticisms by arguing that he is not doing [[linguistics]] but [[psychoanalysis]], and this requires a certain modification of the concepts borrowed from [[linguistics]]. In the end, [[Lacan]] is not really interested in [[linguistics|linguistic theory]] in itself, but only in the ways it can be used to develop [[psychoanalytic theory]].<ref>{{L}} ''[[Seminar XVIII|Le Seminaire. Livre XVIII. D'un discours qui ne serait pas du semblant, 1970-71]]'', unpublished. [[Seminar]] of 27 January 1971.</ref> It was this that led [[Lacan]] to coin the neologism ''[[linguistics|linguistérie]]'' (from the [[words]] ''[[linguistics|linguistique]]'' and ''[[hysteria|hystérie]]'') to refer to his [[psychoanalytic]] use of linguistic concepts.<ref>{{S20}} p. 20</blockquoteref> ---- In [[seminar XX]] Lacan formulated this distinction between his own use of the term 'language' and linguistics through the neologism ''[[la linguisterie]]''.
---Linguistics is concerned with the [[formalization]] of language and [[knowledge]].
Following the indications of ''[[Lévi-StraussLa linguisterie]], [[Lacan]] turns to [['' on the other hand is the side of language that linguistics]] to provide [[psychoanalytic theory]] with a conceptual rigour that it previously lackedignores.
The reason for this lakc of ocnceptual rigour was simply due, It refers to those points in language when [[Lacanmeaning]] argues, to fails and breaks down; it is the science of the fact that [[linguistics|structural lingusiticsword]] appeared too alte for [[Freud]] to make use of itthat fails.
however, Fink rather nicely translates ''[[Lacanla linguisterie]] argues that when '' as '[[Freudlinguistricks]] is reread in ', which serves to emphasize the light playfulness of linguistic theory, a coherent logic the [[unconscious]] and the way it is revealed which is not otherwise apparent; indeedalways trying to trip the [[subject]] up, playing tricks on [[Freudconscious]] [[thought]] can even be seen to have anticipated certain elements of modenr linguistic theory.<ref>{E}} p.162</ref>
--It is in this [[sense]] and not in the sense of [[formal]] linguistics that the unconscious is [[structured]] like a language.
