Açıklama

The theory explaining how the subject is constituted in language through the categories of 'I' and 'you,' and the foundational role of personhood for subjectivity. The asymmetrical relation between the subject who says 'I' and the addressee 'you' is regarded as the source of subjectivity in language. Connected to Freud and Lacan, this theory plays a key role in the linguistic grounding of the psyche.
