ABSTRACT
Jacques Lacan is particularly subtle when he states that, regarding desire's rejection, a neurotic subject can only go as far as "to desire not to desire". In the context of Lacan's teaching, whenever the function of the point is involved, what is at stake is the fact that it has the structure of a point de capiton. In the elementary cell of the graph, Lacan proposes that we work on the notions of diachrony and synchrony. Diachrony: The diachronic function of this anchoring point is to be found in the sentence, even if the sentence completes its signification only with its last term, each term being anticipated in the construction of the others, inversely, sealing their meaning by its retroactive effect. The subject of language means the consideration of the human being as being strictly different from any natural given, and it implies not the encounter with the signifier, but with at least two of them.
