But can there be at face value, despite an unmistakable ring of phonetic proximity, despite the strong similarity of the two words, a more combinatorial couple than the two?

What are Psychoanalysts for in a Destitute Time? Kristeva and the Community in Revolt

"Revolution in Religious Language": The Relevance of Julia Kristeva's Theory of 'Signifiance' for Theology
Abstract: This dissertation applies Julia Kristeva’ theory of revolution in the practice of signifiance to religious discourse. In particular, it argues that the salient features of signifiance are present and active in religious speech acts as well as poetic language, the subject of Kristeva’s doctoral thesis Revolution in Poetic Language. Signifiance describes the process in which meaning is produced in linguistic utterance, and its intentional practice is subversive not only in terms of language but culture in general.
