Different Notions of the Unconscious

There are different notion of unconsciousness at play. Lacan, and French philosophy-literature generally includes unconscious as inner thought, as conscience, and consciousness as perception, appearance and actions like speech, gestures and movements. However, many other people think of consciousness as internal and the unconscious as what is suppressed, forgotten, and under repression - what cannot be thought but has effects in spite of the person. So, Lacan's structural notion of the unconscious and language is the same as mind and speech whether that speech is subvocal or enunciated immediately to another person who is socially present. This ambiguity is overlooked by Pound who does not recognize a spectrum of definitions of the unconscious, particularly the individual's own biases and blind spots or symptoms, nor of the several levels of language use - the primary one being internal talk to self and to part objects and only secondarily to others as loud speech acts or performances. Intra-action - the speech acts internal to others - the sending-receiving circuit - must also be accounted for in any discussion of language usage.
