==Ferdinand de Saussure==
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|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>
===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]].
