ABSTRACT
In the session of Wednesday 18th November 1975 J. Lacan calls the French language his lalangue. Lalangue, of course, refers to the language of the unconscious based on homophony, and to the alliterations and obliterations of language that circle around the objet a as object of the drive, and the object cause of desire. Lalangue is the language of the One, and how the Real appears within language and not only in mathematical formalisation or jouissance. Lacan's says that the French lalangue became something different with the injection of Greek, and the word sinthome was rendered as symptom. Lacan goes back and names the symptom once again as sinthome. Lacan says Evie or the mother of the living tasted the fruit of science and by doing so became no more mortal than or as mortal as Socrates. Lacan uses the Name of the Father coming from the Real, or the sinthome, to represent the end of analysis for a neurotic.
