Abstract

Psychotic speech is opaque in its own terms. It therefore demands a listening that posits psychosis in the field of psychopathology instead of pathology. The analysis of the construction of the psychotic’s words of neologic effect displays a complex work of thought. Language does not surface as mere manifestation, as a tool of thought, but rather as a cause for the emergence of a subject. By unveiling how the “pathological power of language” works, the delirious construction of the neologic effect lets us picture another mode in which the psychotic inhabits language.
