Principles of Freudian semantics

Abstract

From the analysis of the relationship between notions of psychic apparatus, of language and drive, the article aims to explore the basic principles of freudian semantics theory. We seek to demonstrate how this freudian semantic excludes all realistic interpretation that deals with the reference problem. It is precisely about the reference's designation problem that this semantic conception demonstrates its heuristic fertility. Finally, we will find a way to understand some lacanian notions, specially the concept of Real. A concept, in our perspective, that should be eminently understood in a semantic way. Key-words: Freud, Lacan, Semantics, Drive, Judgement, Thing, Real.
