This reflective article inquires the notions of language, speech and lalangue in Lacan's teachings. First, it interrogates the term language in the definition of the unconscious. Therefore, it problematizes the distinction between language and speech in the theoretical developments of Saussure (2007), Benveniste (2004) and Jakobson (1985). Second, it studies the lalangue neologism in this discourse to think about the nuances this term adds. As a result of this work, it is noted that the notion of language is more appropriate than speech to refer to the unconscious. Indeed, language is considered a complex phenomenon, which is not easily apprehended. Referring to the lalangue, five axes with which it is articulated are evident: the misunderstandings, the unconscious, the interpretation, the lalation and the symptom.

Keywords : Language; speech; unconscious; discourse.
