Abstract

TRAVAGLIA, Aline Alves da Silva. Autism and the beginnings of the word: invocatory drive, body and language. Estilos clin. [online]. 2014, vol.19, n.2, pp. 263-276. ISSN 1415-7128.  http://dx.doi.org/10.11606/issn.1981-1624.v19i2p263-276.

From the enigma posed by autism, this paper analyzes the entering of the baby on language, the vicissitudes of the merger of voice and its operation as a drive object. We consider mom talk and lalation as phenomena in which the function of sound and significant function of voice operate to articulate the encounter between the infans's real body with symbolic language. We postulate that there is not an instinctive or natural order to the advent of language, and that the word is something foreign to the neonate. We consider such elaborations fundamental to direct clinical work with autism.

Keywords : psychoanalysis; autism; language; voice.
