Abstract
The matter of language is important to the psychoanalytic field - the exploration of such domain unveiled by psychoanalysis has generated a series of debates around this subject. However, the emphasis lies mainly on the role of language in the constitution of the psyche. While distancing itself from the domain of linguistics and the representational perspective of language, this paper approaches it emphasizing its use. Through a dialogue between authors of psychoanalysis and the phenomenology of Merleau-Ponty, language is considered a dimension of experience, which presupposes it not to provide a central role for its advent in the psyche, as well as to not elevate it as a necessary condition to the emergence of meaning. The definition of a certain notion of experience emphasizes a lack of dissociation between corporeity, meaning, time and world. Language as a dimension of experience is necessarily articulated to these elements - a question that opens up an important field of discussion for psychoanalytic clinics.
