A =====Jacques Lacan==========Early Work=====In [[signifierLacan]]'s pre-1950s writings, an element of the term "[[languagesignification]], " is used in a material general way to connote both [[representation]] of a [[linguistics|linguistic]] [[signmeaning]]fulness and importance.<ref>{{Ec}} p. 81</ref>
=====Example=====In [[psychoanalysis]]1946, for example, it is a [[phoneme|phonemic]] sequence of the [[discourseLacan]] that intervenes in criticizes organicist [[consciouspsychiatry]] and [[unconscious]] processes to determine for ignoring "the [[subject]] engaged in the discoursesignificance of madness."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 167, 153-4</ref>
A =====Later Work==========Symbolic Order=====In the period 1953-7 the term retains these vague associations with the realm of [[signifiedmeaning]] is the idea or concept associated with a and [[signifierlanguage]], which together constitute and is thus located in the [[linguistics|linguistic]] [[signsymbolic order]].<ref>{{S4}} p. 121</ref>
These elements, which come =====Latest Work==========Imaginary Order=====It is from 1957 on that [[Ferdinand de SaussureLacan]]'s use of the term takes on a direct reference to the [[linguistic theorySaussurean]]concept, were introduced and problematized in shifts from the field of [[psychoanalysissymbolic]] by [[Jacques Lacan]] during his "to the [[return to Freudimaginary]]" phase in the early 1950sorder.
=====Ferdinand de Saussure=====
=====Relation between Signifier and Signified=====
[[Saussure]] reserves the term "[[signification]]" for the relation between the [[signifier]] and the [[signified]]; each sound-image is said to "signify" a concept.<ref>[[Saussure|Saussure, Ferdinand de]]. (1916) ''[[Saussure|Course in General Linguistics]]'', ed. Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, trans. Wade Baskin, Glasgow: Collins Fontana. p. 114</ref>
Lacan relied on [[Signification]] is, for [[Saussure]], an unbreakable bond; the following main points [[signifier]] and the [[signified]] are inseparable as the two sides of Saussure's structural modela sheet of paper.
=====Jacques Lacan=====
=====Relation between Signifier and Signified=====
[[Image:SAUSSUREANALGORITHM.gif|right|thumb|Saussurean algorithm|The Saussurean algorithm]]
The [[linguistics|linguisticLacan]] argues that the relationship between [[signifier]] and [[signsignified]], which belongs to is far more precarious; he sees the [[bar]] between them in the [[languageSaussurean algorithm]]as representing not a bond but a rupture, establishes a relationship between a "[[signifierresistance]] (acoustic wave form) and a " to [[signifiedsignification]] (concept).<ref>{{E}} p. 164</ref>
The directed and temporal sequence =====Primacy of an articulation presupposes the division of [[language]] into two axes: Signifier=====Firstly, the [[syntagmatic axissignifier]], which refers is logically prior to a system of [[speech]] as a system of [[sign]]s capable of being combined and concatenated, and the [[paradigmatic axissignified]], which refers to a system is merely an effect of [[language]] as a system the play of [[signsignifier]]s selected and substituted for particular meanings.
A =====Slippage=====Secondly, even when [[signsignified]]s are produced, they constantly [[slip] taken in isolation does not define a ] and slide underneath the [[meaningsignifier]]: a ; the only things that detain this movement temporarily, pinning the [[signifier]] can refer to several the [[signified]]s. Each sign thus gains its value by being placed in for a brief moment and creating the context [[delusion|illusion]] of other signs. The "break" between a flow of sounds and a flow of thought associates stable [[meaning]], are the signifier with a signified[[points de capiton]].
=====Metaphor and Metonymy=====[[FreudSignification]]'s definition of is, in [[psychoanalysisLacan]] as 's work, not a stable bond between [[treatmentsignifier]] through and [[speechsignified]] led [[Lacan]] to propose that , but a process -- the "[[unconscious is structured like a language]]." This theory, advanced and developed on process by which the basis play of Freud's work, led Lacan to assign to the [[signifier]] and to s produces the [[structuredelusion|illusion]] of the [[languagesignified]] a fundamental role in via the two tropes of [[unconsciousmetonymy]] processes of the speaking and [[subjectmetaphor]].
At the level of the =====Metonymy=====[[primary processSignification]]es, is [[Lacan]] posited an analogy between [[condensation]] and [[metaphor]], as a substitution of [[meaning]], and between [[displacement]] and [[metonymy]], as a connection in [[meaningmetonymic]]because "signification always refers to another signification."<ref>{{S3}} p. 33</ref>
At the level of the expressions of the In other words, [[unconsciousmeaning]], the elaboration of is not found in any one [[symptomsignifier]]s appears to be analogous to , but in the mechanisms of play between [[metaphorsignifier]], while witticisms and [[slips of s along the tongue]] appear to be analogous to metaphorical [[condensationsignifying chain]] and/or [[metonymy|metonymic]] [[displacement]]is therefore unstable.
The dynamic of [[desire]] <blockquote>"It is in the speaking [[subject]] is expressed in an indefinite sequence of signifiers operating metonymically. However, this notion only holds because [[Lacan]] transformed [[Saussure]]'s definition chain of the [[linguistics|linguistic]] [[sign]] andsignifier that the meaning insists, more specifically, that but none of the [[signifier]] tis elements consists in the [[structure]] signification of [[language]]which it is at the moment capable. He referred to this as his "[[linguisteria]]" (''linguistérie'')<ref>{{E}} p.153</ref></blockquote>
=====Metaphor=====[[AnalysisSignification]] of the is [[neurosis|neurosesmetaphoric]], because it involves the [[structure]] crossing of the [[unconsciousbar]] formations, and the [[discourse]] "passage of [[psychosis|psychotics]] led [[Lacan]] to believe that the [[signifier]] is autonomous and dominant over into the [[signified]]."<ref>{{E}} p.164</ref>
The fundamental [[barmetaphor]] that separates S from s shows the relationship between the on which all [[subjectsignification]] and depends in the [[language]]. The [[subject]] is thus subordinated to [[signifierName-of-the-Father|paternal metaphor]]s, without always having access to the and all [[meaningsignification]] that they delimit. This is seen clearly in therefore [[psychosisphallus|psychotic]] [[discourse]], which unleashes the [[signifierphallic]].
The =====Lacanian Algebra=====[[primacy of the signifierSignification]] implies that is designated by the [[signifiedsymbol]]''s draw their coherence only from a '' in [[network of signifiersLacan]]. The relationship between ian [[signifieralgebra]] and (as in the notion '''''s''(A)''' which labels one of the main nodes in the [[signifiedgraph of desire]] can come undone at any time).
The notation for the [[Lacan]] replaced [[Saussuresignified]]is also ''s "break" (''coupure''), Saussure's correspondence between the flow of which suggests that for [[signifierLacan]]s and the flow of term "[[signifiedsignification]]s, with " (the process by which the ''effect of [[point de capitonmeaning]]'' (literally, "quilting stitch"is produced), and the operation that stops the indefinite term "[[slip|slippagesignified]] " (the effect of [[meaning]] by making a deferred limitationitself) tend to overlap.
The logic of the [[signifier]] thus defined by [[Lacan]] calls for a change in how the [[unconscious]] processes are analyzed. =====Signification and Meaning=====[[Lacan]] focused on how In the [[unconscious]] expresses itself in the [[patient]]'s [[language]], as revealed through meter, punctuationlate 1950s, and interpretative breaks. Within this logic, certain [[signifierLacan]]s, such as "establishes an opposition between [[phallussignification]]", "[[Name-of-the-Father]]", and "[[lack in the Othermeaning]]", are invested with a fundamental (''[[metapsychologymeaning|metapsychologicalsense]] value'').
The variety of ways in which these terms have been translated into [[English]] provides difficulty for the [[English]] reader of [[Lacan]].
 
=====Speech=====
[[Signification]] is [[imaginary]] and is the province of [[speech|empty speech]]; [[meaning]] is [[symbolic]] and is the province of [[speech|full speech]].
 
=====Psychoanalytic Interpretation=====
[[Interpretation|Psychoanalytic interpretations]] go against [[signification]] and bear on [[meaning]] and its correlate, [[meaning|non-meaning]] (''[[meaning|non-sens]]'').
 
=====Production of ''Jouissance''=====
Although [[signification]] and [[meaning]] are opposed, they are both related to the production of ''[[jouissance]]''.
 
[[Lacan]] indicates this by coining two neologisms: ''[[signification|signifiance]]'' (from the words [[signification]] and ''[[jouissance]]'') and ''[[signification|jouis-sense]]'' (from ''[[jouissance]]'' and ''sense'').

[[Category:SymbolicOK]][[Category:Psychoanalysis]]   signification (signification)    In Lacan's pre-1950 writings, the term 'signification' is used in a general way to connote both meaningfulness and importance (e.g. Ec, 81).  In 1946, for example, Lacan criticises organicist psychiatry for ignoring 'the significations of madness' (Ec, 167; see Ec, 153- 4). In the period 1953-7 the term retains these vague associations with the [[Real]]m of meaning and language, and is thus located in the [[Symbolic]] order (S4, 121).
