Abstract
Beyond the strict domain of poetry, Lacan objects to Jakobson’s idea that everything that is language belongs to the field of linguistics. His theorization, framed by the purpose of returning to Freud, revolves around the statement that the unconscious is structured like a language.
Lacan’s is another way of approaching language, one that must be distinguished from linguistics. Nevertheless, its proximity to linguistics is evident. The signifier “linguistery”, coined by Lacan, designates both this proximity and this discursive distance.
In this movement, Lacan creates the concept of lalangue, a way of designating the real within the very structure of language. I will attempt to situate this concept in the development of the work proposed here.
