GABBI JR., Osmyr Faria. Concerning the use of language in psychoanalysis. []. , 30, 45, pp.109-114. ISSN 0101-3106.

As an empirical research, psychoanalysis demands a principle to instantiate the psychoanalytic experience. The notion that every psychic act is a fulfillment of a wish was adopted by Freud as a constitutive, but not as a regulative principle. As a result, he formulated a metaphysic of desire and he conceived language as a mean to indicate wishes.We argue that it is more sound to adopt the same principle as regulative and to conceive language as a speech act.
