Example text
It is a matter of norm that we say It is ten to four rather than one of the alternatives. Note that different dialects may have different norms. There are also varieties of English in which the expression is It is ten of four. The second thing that has happened to the langue/parole distinction is that it has been overtaken by other, similar distinctions. Chomsky (1965: 4) introduces the distinction between competence and performance. P is very like Saussure’s parole. It is prone to error, to memory lapse and the like.
Thus the pronoun it in It is beautiful could stand for music, for Kim’s cat or for the diamond necklace which I saw at the jeweller’s last Saturday. Various kinds of pronoun are distinguished, including personal pronouns (I, you, us, them, etc. ). Despite the general definition given above, it is very difficult to make a word like who replace a noun: Pat came? is likely to be a disbelieving echo of an earlier statement rather than a genuine request for information like Who came? Pro-sentence: Things like yes and no can be seen as standing for complete sentences, and thus separate from other parts of speech.
These are outlined below. Langue versus parole Saussure says there are two sides to language: langue and parole. While the French terms are generally used in English, they are sometimes translated as ‘language’ and ‘speech’ respectively, though not without some danger of ambiguity. L is that part of language which ‘is not complete in any individual, but exists only in the collectivity’ (Saussure 1969 [1916]: 30, my translation, see the footnote for the original French1). P, on the other hand, is observable in the behaviour of the individual.
