Before Saussu

2、re, although Linguistics had been long- term studied by many scholars, it was still in traditional way and almost had no advance; Linguistics had been in a disorder. Saussure lived in the period that Historical Comparative Linguistics was in its heat. But he did not follow the herd. At that time, he

3、 sensitively pointed out the weakness of Linguistics in his Course in General Linguistics (普通语言 学教程）that the subject of Linguistics is something curious and without any relationship. In order to explain what is the subject of Linguistics, Saussure put forward the concept “langue” and “parole”. 2021/

The subject of Linguistics study became more clear. The situation that sp

He insisted that scientific Linguistics should study the stable language not the speech. Linguists are always faced with indefinite speech a

The distinction of langue and parole helps linguists to determine the study field and find the general rules behind the mass language phenomenon. From this point of view, the distincti

It helps to generalize language systems from concrete speeches, so it brings convenience to language study. Thus Linguistics has become an independent science since the distinction. 2021/

10、 of synchronic linguistics which is started by Saussures idea of synchrony and diachrony. Chomskys proposal of linguistic competence and performance are influenced by Saussures langue and parole. 2021/3/10讲解：XX9 The influence on future linguistic schools The influence on Chomskys theory (1) The dist

11、inction of competence and performance Competence refers to the ideal users knowledge of the language: that is the abilities all native speakers have of being able to understand and produce sentences. Performance refers to the actual realization of this knowledge in linguistic communication. Competen

12、ce and performance are quite similar with Saussures langue and parole. They differ in different perspectives of studying languages. Saussure took a social linguistically view of language. Language is a matter of social conventions. Chomsky looked at language from a psychological point of view, and c

13、ompetence is a property of the mind of each individual. 2021/3/10讲解：XX10 The influence on future linguistic schools The influence on Chomskys theory (2)Chomskys innateness hypotheses and LAD theory They two are certain getting the thoughts from Saussure langue and parole. Chomsky believes that child

14、ren are born with a language acquisition device and with knowledge of this basic grammatical relations and categories, and this knowledge is universal. He named it universal grammar. Langue, as the abstract system of rules, actually exists in peoples mind since they were born, which can be explained

15、 in an alternative view in Chomskys term the LAD. 2021/3/10讲解：XX11 The influence on the closely connection of Linguistics and Philosophy Saussures proposal of langue and parole connected Linguistics with philosophy. Modern western philosophy study involves the metaphysics. The cause of metaphysics i

16、n philosophy is believed not the philosophy itself but the language problem. Because of the ill expression of philosophy language, the philosophy problems are in a mass. The problem should be solved through the explanation of language. The distinction of langue and parole stimulate the production of

17、 linguistic philosophy. Linguistics has gradually become an interdisciplinary subject. 2021/3/10讲解：XX12 The influences on the FLT FLT is the short form of the foreign language teaching. The distinction of langue and parole gives foreign language teachers some inspiration on second language teaching.

18、 In classroom teaching both the “langue” and “parole” should be taught to students. On the one hand, foreign language teaching must teach students “language” that is: phonetics, vocabulary, grammar and meaning. The abstract systems of rules which is correspondence to Saussures langue must be known t

19、o students. On the other hand, langue exists in the concrete “parole”, in order to study a language well; the utterance must be often practiced. That is to speak more. 2021/3/10讲解：XX13 The influences on the FLT The western culture study and the situation-based teaching method got the theory from Sau

20、ssures distinction of langue and parole, which helps to continually improve the FLTM (foreign language teaching methodology) Take the communicative approach as an example, the learning theories are: 1、follow the natural acquisition 2、language is best learned through use in social context; 3、learning

21、 is a process of meaning negotiation. 2021/3/10讲解：XX14 The influences on the FLT The communicative approach In terms of the three theories, it is clear that Saussures langue and parole are through them. The emphasis on the natural acquisition refers to the importance of the langue which is to learn the abstract linguistic system. The use of social context has some relationship on parole which is the realization of language in actual use. 2021/3/10讲解：XX15 The influences on the FLT Teaching syllabus The teaching
