Summary/Abstract: The present article wishes to be a way of reviewing the opinions of some representatives of the psychoanalytic movement, specially Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, less known in Romania, opinions concerning language development in children. These aspects will be then treated in relation to the infantile autism, with special reference to those particular language problems which are present in the cases of autism. We are talking about wordiness, stubborn silence and hallucination in the linguistic field. In order to show the reality of the exposed facts, we are also presenting a short case study from the literature. Without having any ideas of solving all the problems of language, the article presents another vision about language structures in autistic children.
