Changes

[[Lacan]] uses the verb "[[slip]]" -- and its corresponding noun, "[[slip|slippage]]" -- to describe the unstable relationship between the [[signifier]] and the [[signified]].

The term thus emphasizes the different ways in which [[Saussure]] and [[Lacan]] conceive of [[signification]]; for [[Saussure]], [[signification]] was a stable bond between [[signifier]] and [[signified]], but for [[Lacan]] it is an unstable, fluid relationship.
