subject-language

is a language which, like in the case of the lover or one sharing a dream, becomes meaningless to the person outside the event.

Imagine a man in love describing the features of his beloved to a friend who, not being himself in love with that particular person, will simply find this enthusiastic description meaninglesshe will not get 'the point' of it. In short, subject-language involves the logic of shibboleth, of a difference which is visible only from within' (Zizek 1998: 242)

is language such as that of the lover whereby the emotional weight behind the language falls flat when expressed to another and whose critical difference is visible only from within.
