[Understanding language and transference in Beckett's "Endgame"].

In the article a psychoanalytic and pragmalinguistic oriented interpretation of 'Endgame' by S. Beckett is offered. This method obviously demonstrates the necessity of interpreting 'Endgame' in connection with the communicational situation between author/text and reader/interpreter. The conclusion is that the meaning of 'Endgame' is not offered by the text alone, but lies in the process of irritation of reader and interpreter, induced by specific reactions (transferences and counter-transferences) on the text presented.
