Néologie d’origine, néologie de transfert : le cas des néologismes dans le domaine de la psychanalyse et leur traduction en espagnol

Freud and Lacan had two opposing points of view concerning the linguistic means of expressing the new discipline of psycho-analysis. The former was of a classical disposition, preferring forms in actual use, though quite revolutionary in the way they could be conceptualized, whereas the latter made a break with the patterns of the past and created so many neologisms that a specific publication was devoted to this issue. This opposition is the starting point for the analysis of the translation into Spanish of these original neologisms and the problems posed by the secondary term formation involved in the process, not simply for the central concepts of psychoanalysis but also all the force and the style of the linguistic expression chosen to convey the novelty.
