7. LANGUE VS PAROLE Parole refers to language use in communication. The way members of the community actually speak. Parole is varied from one subgroup to another. The rules of parole reflect the linguistic choices of the people who use the language. It fluctuates more often than the formal language it actualizes.

9. COMPETENCE-PERFORMANCE Noam Chomsky Competence refers to the understanding of the grammatical rules & proper use of standard language. Performance refers to the social use of language, including all the revisions & violations of standard rules typical in any given social context.

10. Although language users may be very competent in knowing what constitus proper use of the language (their langue), their actual performance in using the language (their parole) does not necessarily reflect that knowledge. COMPETENCE-PERFORMANCE

15. Parole = Language-in-use Language has a very close & special connection with the society & its members. Therefore, the social context must not be taken as given & as external to interaction. Instead, social context is inseperable from the study of language-in-use. PAROLE & CONTEXT

16. Giles & Wiemann (1987) study the relationship between language-in-use with social context: 1. Language reflects context 2. Language builds on context 3. Language mediates context PAROLE & CONTEXT
