Abstract
VILUTIS, Isabel Mainetti de. The language of unconscius phenomenons. Rev. bras. psicanál [online]. 2009, vol.43, n.1, pp.61-68. ISSN 0486-641X.
Beginning with a rapport of her personal experience as a foreing psychoanalyst, the author examines some difficulties founded in the translation of portuguese idiomatic expressions, spoken in Brazil. She makes a comparison with the translation work during analysis and, at the same time, shows the difference between them, due to the fact that there is not a previous and universal symbolic link between pacients speeches and unconscious significations. Using some Sigmund Freud concepts, the author explains the strong bind between language and psychoanalysis since the beginnig of freudian theory. As a conclusion, it is said that there are not especific differences in a psycoanalises process due to portuguese language.
