Communication and Signification in Psychoses

This chapter explores the issue of communication in psychoses, drawing a parallel between a deaf person trying to understand sign language and the challenges faced by individuals with psychoses. It discusses the concept of signification, examples of meaningless signifiers, biological signs, the role of the trace, and the significance of a sequence of three in relation to the signifier, ultimately connecting these ideas to Lacan's interest in non-meaning and nonsense.
