[The language of the unconscious]

The concept of consciousness, separate from that of vigilance, can be defined as the immediate knowledge of motor-perceptual activities on the cognitive assimilation of the real duration. The linguistic theories distinguish in the language first of all linguistic competence, it is grouping of signs or linguistic knowledge of the group, which one can compare to phenomenon of automatism, and secondly the spoken language or linguistic performance, a creative individual and voluntary act. The observation of aphasics and of a certain partial temporal epileptics permits to dissociate these two forms of language. That of the consciousness linked to the immediate observation of the self by ones' self could only be the creative word. The unconscious listener, separated from real time, without real creative ability, could only be the "-echo-souvenir" of the conscient person.
