Lacanian neuropsychoanalysis : on the role of language motor dynamics for language processing and for mental constitution

This chapter discusses the Lacanian viewpoint on psychoanalysis serves as the main background. It explores the Lacanian background further implies that the subject, then, is “what is represented by a signifier for another signifier”. The signifier is, in the first place, consistent with S. Freud’s model, in itself a thing, which only secondarily acquires its linguistic dimension in relation to something it may denote. A common characteristic of Freud’s word presentation, Jacques Lacan’s signifier and A. Damasio’s lexical unit is that they are phonologically encoded. Metaphorization is an operation whereby a meaning of a signifier is put into an unusual lexical position which then enforces the reading of the signifier: in essence, then, it is secondary processes getting hold of primary process language associativity. The metaphors truly formalize the logical dynamics of how primary and secondary processes interact for targeted action.
