Objectives. - Trauma appears within the discourse of mentally injured people, materializing what we have recently defined as "post-traumatic psycholinguistic syndrome" (SPLIT). Translating unspeakability, flashbacks, and dissociation, this clinical entity associates three significant disturbances: traumatic anomia (missing words, reduction of the elocutionary flow, deictic gestures, etc.);linguistic repetitions (of words and phrases, verbal intrusions, echophrasias, etc.);and phrasal and discursive disorganization (incomplete sentences, tense discordance, dysfluence, lack of logical connectors, etc.). What are the causes of these semiological and psycholinguistic expressions? What are their psychological and/or neuropsychological processes? It is time to come up with a new concept intended to go beyond the previous models in order to better identify people suffering from post-traumatic mental disorders, to better organize and evaluate psychotherapeutic care, and also to help practitioners collaborate more effectively on these first two goals. But how to evoke, affirm, or speak out about the consequences of unspeakability? Nothing is more apparently contradictory than wanting to define the language void. How to account for the fractures of psychic trauma in discourse? Nothing is more uncertain than to try to organize the upheavals, the disorders caused by dissociation in language. Finally, how to specify the reiteration of the trauma using words and sentences without this modeling being dissociative or repetitive? Today, thanks to a psycholinguistic reading, essential dimensions of post-traumatic suffering, hitherto hidden, can be clarified. Why exactly does an event cause trauma in the life of a subject at a given moment in her/his existence? Why is a latency phase structured between the traumatic event and the return of flashbacks under the influence of a re-triggering factor? How to differentiate the notion of dissociation as a normal phenomenon from the so-called
