Kathleen Saint-Onge is a Canadian researcher interested in the role of language in identity-formation and the question, "What is a word?" Saint-Onge follows Freud as she taps Françoise Dolto's notion of the phonème to explore the unconscious work of the transference (in texts) in psychical development. Saint-Onge is also the author of Bilingual Being: My Life as a Hyphen (2013).
