Abstract
ABSTRACT : In collaboration with Jacques Damourette, Edouard Pichon, one of France's more noteworthy psychoanalists between the two world wars, produces a monumental work in linguistics, as seen in particular in the seven volumes of the Essai de Grammaire de la langue française. The points of contact between the author's linguistic theories and Lacan's conceptions of « the inconscious structured like a language » are numerous. The paper emphasizes the following four points : 1/ the relations between « sysémie homophonique » and the concept of « lalangue » ; 2/ the theory of « empersonnement ténu et étoffé » and Lacan's theory of the subject of the unconscious ; 3/ Lacan's analysis of the negation in « discordance » and « forclusion » ; 4/ the problems of metalanguage and its questioning ; here again the two linguists and the psychoanalist encounter one another.
