=====Linguistic Definition====="[[Metalanguage ]]" is the technical [[linguistic]] term in linguistics for any [[form ]] of [[language ]] which is used to describe or analyze the properties of [[another]] [[language]].Roman Jakobson includes the metalingual function in his list of the functions of language.<ref>Jakobson, 1960:25</ref>
Lacan's first reference to metalanguage comes in 1956, when he echoes =====Roman Jakobson=====[[Roman Jakobson's view on ]] includes the metalingual function in his [[list]] of all the functions of [[language: ]].<ref>[[Roman Jakobson|Jakobson, Roman]]. "Linguistics and poetics,"all language implies a metalanguagein ''Selected Writings'', vol. II, its already a metalanguage ''[[Poetry]] of Grammar and Grammar of its own registerPoetry'', The [[Hague]]: Mouton, 1981 [1960]."<ref>S3, 226p. 25</ref>
A few years later, =====Jacques Lacan==========Early Work=====[[Lacan]]'s first reference to [[metalanguage]] comes in 19601956, when he says precisely echoes [[Jakobson]]'s view on the opposite, arguing that "no metalanguage can be spoken."<ref>E 311</ref>metalingual function of all [[language]]:
What Lacan appears to mean by this remark is that<blockquote>"All [[language]] implies a [[metalanguage]], since every attempt to fix the meaning its already a [[metalanguage]] of language must be done in language, there can be no escape from language, no its own [[register]]."outside<ref>{{S3}} p."226</ref></blockquote>
This is reminiscent of Heidegger's views on =====Later Work=====A few years later, in 1960, he says precisely the impossibility of exiting opposite, arguing that "the house of languageno [[metalanguage]] can be spoken."<ref>{{E}} p.311</ref>
This also =====No "Outside" of Language=====What [[Lacan]] appears similar to the structuralist theme of ''il n'y a rien hors du texte'' ('there mean by this remark is nothing outside the text')that, but it is not since every attempt to fix the same; Lacan does not deny that there is a beyond [[signification|meaning]] of [[language (this beyond is the real), but he does argue that this beyond is not of a kind that could finally anchor meaning. There is, ]] must be done in other words[[language]], there can be no transcendental signifiedescape from [[language]], no way that language could "tell the truth about truthoutside"."<ref>Ec 867-8</ref>
The same point This is also expressed in the phrase; "there is no Other of the Other."<ref>E 311</ref>If the Other is the guarantee reminiscent of the coherence of the subject[[Heidegger]]'s discourse, then views on the falsity [[impossibility]] of this guarantee is revealed by the fact that exiting "the guarantor himself lacks such a guarantee. In a clinical context, this means that there is no metalanguage house of the transference, no point outside the transference from which it could be finally interpreted and 'liquidated'language."
=====Metalanguage Does Not Exist=====
[[Lacan]] rejects the very possibility of a [[metalanguage|metalinguistic dimension]], denies the [[existence]] of any [[metalanguage]].
[[Lacan]] follows [[Heidegger]]'s view of [[language]] as a "house of [[being]]" of which it is [[impossible]] to step [[outside]].
=====Meaning Beyond Language=====
This also appears similar to the [[structuralism|structuralist]] theme of ''il n'y a rien hors du texte'' ("there is [[nothing]] outside the [[text]]"), but it is not the same; [[Lacan]] does not deny that there is a beyond of [[language]] (this beyond is the [[real]]), but he does argue that this beyond is not of a kind that could finally anchor [[signification|meaning]].
 
There is, in other [[words]], no [[transcendental]] [[signified]], no way that [[language]] could "tell the [[truth]] [[about]] truth."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 867-8</ref>
 
=====No Other of the Other=====
The same point is also expressed in the phrase:
 
<blockquote>"There is no [[Other of the Other]]."<ref>{{E}} p. 311</ref></blockquote>
 
If the [[Other]] is the [[guarantee]] of the [[coherence]] of the [[subject]]'s [[discourse]], then the [[falsity]] of this guarantee is revealed by the fact that the [[guarantor]] himself [[lacks]] such a guarantee.
 
=====Transference=====
In a [[clinical]] context, this means that there is no [[metalanguage]] of the [[transference]], no point outside the [[transference]] from which it could be finally [[interpretation|interpreted]] and "liquidated."
