In =====Linguistic Definition====="[[linguisticsMetalanguage]], a " is the technical or second-order [[languagelinguistic]] used to describe and analyze a natural or first-order [[language]].More generally, term for any descriptive [[discourseform]] such as of [[literary criticismlanguage]] can be said which is used to function as a [[metalanguage]].According to [[Jakobson]], describe or analyze the process properties of acquiring or learning a [[languageanother]] involves many metalinguistic operations.He also argues that all speakers of a [[language]] also use a [[metalanguage]] without realizing it in order to ensure that they are using the same code as their interlocutors.
The very possibility of a metalinguistic dimension is denied by many of the thinkers associated with [[poststructuralism]], [[postmodernism]] and [[deconstruction]].=====Roman Jakobson=====[[LacanRoman Jakobson]], for example, flatly denies includes the existence of any [[metalanguage]], basing metalingual function in his claim on [[Heideggerlist]]'s contention that of the functions of [[language]] is the 'house of being' and that it is impossible to step outside it.<ref>1960</ref>In [[HeideggerRoman Jakobson|Jakobson, Roman]]. "Linguistics and poetics," in ''Selected Writings''s view, any vol. II, ''[[metalanguage]] is a [[metaphysicsPoetry]] of Grammar and a Grammar of Poetry'technicalization' that destroys the experience of a , The [[languageHague]]: Mouton, 1981 [1960]., p. 25</ref>
Most of the =====Jacques Lacan==========Early Work=====[[philosophersLacan]] associated with the 's first reference to [[linguistic turnmetalanguage]] take a similar view and arguecomes in 1956, like when he echoes [[WittgensteinJakobson]], that there can be no metalinguistic or extralinguistic dimension betcause "'s view on the limits metalingual function of my language are the limits of my world" or, like all [[Derridalanguage]], that "there is nothing outside the text.":
<blockquote>"All [[language]] implies a [[metalanguage]], its already a [[metalanguage]] of its own [[register]]."<ref>{{S3}} p. 226</ref></blockquote>
=====Later Work=====
A few years later, in 1960, he says precisely the opposite, arguing that "no [[metalanguage]] can be spoken."<ref>{{E}} p.311</ref>
=====No "Outside" of Language=====
What [[Lacan]] appears to mean by this remark is that, since every attempt to fix the [[signification|meaning]] of [[language]] must be done in [[language]], there can be no escape from [[language]], no "outside".
This is reminiscent of [[Heidegger]]'s views on the [[impossibility]] of exiting "the house of 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:
Metalanguage <blockquote>"There is the technical term in linguistics for any form no [[Other of language which is used to describe the properties of languageOther]].Roman Jakobson includes the metalingual function in his list of the functions of language"<ref>{{E}} p.311</ref>Jakobson, 1960:25</refblockquote>
LacanIf the [[Other]] is the [[guarantee]] of the [[coherence]] of the [[subject]]'s first reference to metalanguage comes in 1956[[discourse]], when he echoes Jakobson's view on then the metalingual function [[falsity]] of all language: "all language implies this guarantee is revealed by the fact that the [[guarantor]] himself [[lacks]] such a metalanguage, its already a metalanguage of its own registerguarantee."<ref>S3, 226</ref>
A few years later=====Transference=====In a [[clinical]] context, in 1960, he says precisely this means that there is no [[metalanguage]] of the opposite[[transference]], arguing that "no metalanguage can point outside the [[transference]] from which it could be spokenfinally [[interpretation|interpreted]] and "liquidated."<ref>E 311</ref>
