As an extension of the report by Viviane Chetrit-Vatine and Michel Granek, this article offers some elements for reflection on the particularities of the psychic space of a user of the Hebrew language. Hebrew is a unique case in its kind: that of having passed from the state of a dead language to that of a living language, thanks in particular to Eliezer Ben Yéhouda who was undoubtedly the most famous promoter of “the rebirth of Hebrew”. But, beyond the keen interest that Hebrew arouses for the sciences of language, psychoanalysis can also find food for thought in it, in particular to nourish (and advance) a debate that is still open around the Lacanian slogan concerning the “primacy of the signifier”, a slogan whose flaws Hebrew seems to reveal.
