"[[Slip]]" (''[[slip|{{Top}}glisser]]'' [vb], ''[[slip|glissement]]'' [n.])|}

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

=====Signification=====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.[[Image:SAUSSUREANALGORITHM.gif|right|thumb|200px|[[Saussurean algorithm|The Saussurean algorithm]]]]

=====Bar=====It is [[impossible ]] to establish a stable one-to-one link between [[signifier]]s and [[signified]]s, and [[Lacan]] symbolizes this by inscribing a [[bar]] between [[them ]] in the [[Saussurean algorithm]].

The [[signified]] slips and slides under the [[bat]] of the [[Saussurean algorithm]] in a continuous movement, a movement which is only temporarily detained by the ''[[points de capiton]]''.<ref>{{E}} p.154</ref>   =====Psychosis=====When there are not enough ''[[points de capiton]]'', as is in the [[case ]] in [[psychosis]], the slippery movement of [[signification]] is endless, and stable [[meaningmeanings]]s dissolve altogether.
