Such language would not make meaning in our traditional understanding of the term; its force is disruptive of meaning, it simply does not signify. It belongs in the category that Félix Guattari named "a-signifying semiotics," semiotics that don't make meaning. Bohm felt that the order of reality on which such communication made sense was prior to the order of meaning; Guattari similarly places the force of a-signifying semiotics in a place prior to the connection between signifier and signified. He writes:

This position of the subject changes radically when a-signifying semiotics come to the forefront. The world of mental representation … or 'reference' … then no longer functions to centre and over-encode semiotics. Signs are involved in things prior to representation. Signs and things engage one another independently of the subjective control that agents of individual utterance claim to have over them. A collective agency of utterance is then in a position to deprive the spoken word of its function as imaginary support to the cosmos. It replaces it with a collective voice that combines machinic elements of all kinds…. The illusion of specific utterance by a human subject vanishes, and can be seen as having been merely a side-effect of the statements produced and manipulated by political and economic systems.*

The world of a-signifying semiotics is not a separate world of non-meaning that occasionally disturbs the world of meaning; from Guattari's perspective, it is quite simply the basis for our world of meaning, and its operations precede that of meaning both chronologically and ontologically. Of course, a-signifying semiotics have always been studied by psychologists as important moments in analysis, interrupting conscious explanations of reality with bursts of unconscious energy and flow. Jokes and dreams, for example, were pregnant with psychological significance precisely because they operated through forces that transcend signification. But it was always the psychoanalyst's job to return to the comfortable world of meaning and signification, containing the threat posed by such irruptions.
