According to [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] is the conceptual element of the [[sign]]. It is not the real [[object]] denoted by a [[sign]] (the [[referent]]), but a psychological entity corresponding to such an [object]].<ref>(Saussure, 1916: 66-7)</ref>{{Top}}signifié{{Bottom}}
For ==Ferdinand de Saussure==According to [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] has is the same status as [[conceptual]] element of the [[signifiersign]]; both form equal sides of . It is not the [[real]] [[object]] denoted by a [[sign]]-- the [[referent]] -- but a [[psychological]] entity corresponding to such an [[object]].<ref>[[Saussure|Saussure, Ferdinand de]]. ''[[Saussure|Course in General Linguistics]]'', ed. Charles Bally and Albert Sechehaye, trans. Wade Baskin, Glasgow: Collins Fontana. 1916. p. 66-7</ref>
==Jacques Lacan=====Primacy of the Signifier===For [[Saussure]], the [[signified]] has the same status as the [[signifier]]; both [[form]] equal sides of the [[sign]]. [[Lacan]], on the [[other ]] hand, asserts the supremacy primacy of the [[signifier]], and argues that the [[signified]] is a mere effect of the play of [[signifier]]s, an effect of the [[process ]] of [[signification]] produced by [[metaphor]]. In other [[words]], the [[signified]] is not given, but produced.
In other words, the [[signified]] is not given, but produced.===Materialism of Language===[[Lacan]]'s view is thus opposed to an expressionist view of [[language]], according to which [[concepts ]] [[exist ]] in some pre-[[verbal ]] [[state ]] before [[being ]] expressed in the [[material ]] medium of [[language]]. In contrast to such a view, [[Lacan]] asserts the priority ([[logical ]] rather than [[chronological]]) of the [[material ]] element of [[language]]. ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Language]]* [[Materialism]]||* [[Metaphor]]* [[Sign]]||* [[Signification]]* [[Signifier]]{{Also}}
