WRITING: A LANGUAGE SYSTEM

This article is part of the thesis: Psychosis and writing: the entry of a subject. We have given a linguistic twist to the work, trying to approach the issue of writing not as a textual production intended for comprehension, but as a linguistic system, with its own rules and regulations. In order to do so - based on a Saussurean definition of language, seen as a system that can be compared to other systems - we have tried to figure how we can state the Saussurean concept of language, from the delimitation of the system, and develop the Saussurean hypothesis that writing, being a linguistic system, is comparable to language.
