	'''Signification''', as Lacan called it, is ''that allows us to ~~say denotes~~ the meaningfulness of something'', (namely '[[discourse]]', owing to his variety of [[psychoanalysis]] dealing with [[language]], such that it is not merely dealing with mental processes of a subject, which was the case with Freud, but with Lacan it is [[semiotics]] where '''signs''' as conveyors of meaning play an imperative role.) Lacan uses the sentence ''plein de signification ''which in English would translate into ''full of meaning''.''<ref>"Écrits" by Jacques Lacan</ref>'' Thus, we might say "'''signification'''" is simply ''the means of expressing meaning''.
