Abstract
With the linguistic turn, many communication theorists have abandoned the code theory. But, in fact, they presuppose the existence of the level of the message(code) and implicitly divide communication between the level of the message(code) and the level of the meta-message (communication). Consequentry, they cannot explain the relation of the two levels and integrate them. On the other hand, psychoanalytic theory specifies that the level of the message is constituted in the space where the level of the meta-message functions and that the level of the meta-message is the trace of the level of the message.
