ABSTRACT
Jacques Lacan thought that reductive and harsh interpretation led to a decrease in the significance of Sigmund Freud's ideas, and he intended to instil new spirit into psychoanalysis. Psychoanalysis attempts to go the alienation by facilitating the appearance of the subject. In psychoanalysis there is speech, through which the symptom is supposed to change, following which logic it may be concluded that there is a connection between speech and symptom. Psychoanalysis is ethically different from other medical or research models in the way it relates to language. The unconscious is structured as language, and symptoms are also embedded within language. In the wake of de Saussure, Lacan distinguishes between language and parole and demonstrates how, through the use of language—the sole tool of the psychoanalyst—it is possible to effect change on things that are not expressed in the speech of the subject. Such language is linked to jouissance—the primal language upon which or from which symbolic language is constructed.
