Abstract
ABSTRACT: The following article aims to discuss the conceptions of language proposed in Freud's work, considering the specificity of the notion of representation, and to point out its consequences in clinical practice. In the representation theory, it is possible to conceive a notion of language characterized by heterogeneity (representation of the word and representation of the thing) that its effect of meaning is produced through a complex of associations and their linkage to an intensive approach (instinctual representative). From this model, it is assumed that the language exceeds its semantic function and the representational system is not restricted to the field of rationality and verbalization.

RESUMO: A especificidade da linguagem na psicanálise
The psychoanalytic theory initiates a discursivity on clinical practice, introducing a new meaning for the function of language
The Freudian conception of language is marked by heterogeneity of two entries — representation of the word and representation of the thing — in which the effect of significance is produced through a complex of associations
Summary
The psychoanalytic theory initiates a discursivity on clinical practice, introducing a new meaning for the function of language. With the notion of representative drive, Freud expands this discussion when approaching the question of intensity. The originality of this focus poses a questioning about the restriction of the system of representation to the field of rationality and verbalization, as well as of the exclusively semantic dimension of the language. How the specificity of the concept of representation built along Freud’s work, especially in the study of the aphasias and the metapsychological texts, opens a new horizon on the approach of the language that implies different perspectives to the psychoanalytic clinic
