This paper aims at investigating the Freudian symptom as an individual anti-language involved in a semiotic antagonism towards the internal logonomic system.In Freudian-Lacanian psychoanalysis, the symptom is interpreted according to transcendental and atemporal principles.Leaving aside these principles, we argue for a social semiotic approach in which the meaning of symptom is determined by its antagonistic relationship to the logonomic system, and also by its converted link with the repressed object in a specific socio-cultural context.The symptomatic antagonism is marked by a hypocritical biomat for sale and ambivalent relationship with the logonomic system and the repressed entity.
