Lang
Language

A term used by Saussure. He distinguished between complex and hybrid langue (language activity) and langue and parole, and defined langue as an essential, homogeneous, and social language system. For example, he believed that Japanese people can communicate their intentions using Japanese because all members understand the rules of the language, which are homogeneous and common. Although Saussure's explanation of the distinction between langue and parole has some ambiguities and some points that require revision, his attempt to point out the distinction between repeated and one-off linguistic phenomena is a great achievement.

langue

ソシュールの用語。彼は複雑で混質的なランガージュ (言語活動) を,ラングとパロールに識別し,ラングを本質的,等質的,社会的な言語体系として規定した。たとえば日本人が日本語を用いて意志の伝達が可能なのは,成員すべてに等質で共通な日本語の規則が了解されているからであるとする見方である。ソシュールのラングとパロールの区別の説明には,曖昧な点,修正を要する点はあるが,言語現象において,繰返し現れるものと,一回的なものとの区別を指摘しようとした功績は大きい。
