Lacan's first reference =====Linguistic Definition====="[[Metalanguage]]" is the technical [[linguistic]] term for any [[form]] of [[language]] which is used to metalanguage comes in 1956, when he echoes Jakobson's view on describe or analyze the metalingual function properties of all [[another]] [[language: "all language implies a metalanguage, its already a metalanguage of its own register]]."<ref>S3, 226</ref>

A few years later, =====Roman Jakobson=====[[Roman Jakobson]] includes the metalingual function in 1960, he says precisely his [[list]] of the opposite, arguing that "no metalanguage can be spokenfunctions of [[language]]."<ref>E 311[[Roman Jakobson|Jakobson, Roman]]. "Linguistics and poetics," in ''Selected Writings'', vol. II, ''[[Poetry]] of Grammar and Grammar of Poetry'', The [[Hague]]: Mouton, 1981 [1960]., p. 25</ref>

What =====Jacques Lacan appears ==========Early Work=====[[Lacan]]'s first reference to mean by this remark is that[[metalanguage]] comes in 1956, since every attempt to fix when he echoes [[Jakobson]]'s view on the meaning metalingual function of all [[language must be done in language, there can be no escape from language, no "outside."]]:

This is reminiscent of Heidegger's views on the impossibility of exiting <blockquote>"the house All [[language]] implies a [[metalanguage]], its already a [[metalanguage]] of languageits own [[register]]."<ref>{{S3}} p. 226</ref></blockquote>

This also appears similar to the structuralist theme of ''il n'y a rien hors du texte'' ('there is nothing outside the text')=====Later Work=====A few years later, but it is not the same; Lacan does not deny that there is a beyond of language (this beyond is the real)in 1960, but he does argue that this beyond is not of a kind that could finally anchor meaning. There issays precisely the opposite, in other words, no transcendental signified, no way arguing that language could "tell the truth about truthno [[metalanguage]] can be spoken."<ref>Ec 867-8{{E}} p.311</ref>

=====No "Outside" of Language=====What [[Lacan]] appears to mean by this remark is that, since every attempt to fix the [[signification|meaning]] of [[language]] must be done in [[language]], there can be no escape from [[language]], no "outside". This is reminiscent of [[Heidegger]]'s views on the [[impossibility]] of exiting "the house of language." =====Metalanguage Does Not Exist=====[[Lacan]] rejects the very possibility of a [[metalanguage|metalinguistic dimension]], denies the [[existence]] of any [[metalanguage]]. [[Lacan]] follows [[Heidegger]]'s view of [[language]] as a "house of [[being]]" of which it is [[impossible]] to step [[outside]]. =====Meaning Beyond Language=====This also appears similar to the [[structuralism|structuralist]] theme of ''il n'y a rien hors du texte'' ("there is [[nothing]] outside the [[text]]"), but it is not the same; [[Lacan]] does not deny that there is a beyond of [[language]] (this beyond is the [[real]]), but he does argue that this beyond is not of a kind that could finally anchor [[signification|meaning]]. There is, in other [[words]], no [[transcendental]] [[signified]], no way that [[language]] could "tell the [[truth]] [[about]] truth."<ref>{{Ec}} p. 867-8</ref> =====No Other of the Other=====The same point is also expressed in the phrase; :  <blockquote>"there There is no [[Other of the Other]]."<ref>{{E }} p. 311</ref></blockquote> If the [[Other ]] is the [[guarantee ]] of the [[coherence ]] of the [[subject]]'s [[discourse]], then the [[falsity ]] of this guarantee is revealed by the fact that the [[guarantor ]] himself [[lacks ]] such a guarantee.  =====Transference=====In a [[clinical ]] context, this means that there is no [[metalanguage ]] of the [[transference]], no point outside the [[transference ]] from which it could be finally [[interpretation|interpreted ]] and '"liquidated'." ==See Also=={{See}}* [[Discourse]]* [[Interpretation]]||* [[Language]]* [[Linguistics]]||* [[Other]]* [[Real]]||* [[Subject]]* [[Transference]]{{Also}}
