A langue ( "tongue") is a language, in which a parole ( from parabola) is a spoken word.

---------

langue n

the French word for "language". The term was used by the linguist

Saussure to mean the system of a language, that is the arrangement of

sounds and words which speakers of a language have a shared knowledge

of or, as Saussure said, "agree to use". Langue is the "ideal" form of a

language. Saussure called the actual use of language by people in speech

or writing "parole".

Saussure's distinction between "langue" and "parole" is similar to

Chomsky's distinction between COMPETENCE and PERFORMANCE. But

whereas for Saussure the repository of "langue" is the SPEECH COMMUNITY,

for Chomsky the repository of "competence" is the "ideal

speaker/hearer". So Saussure's distinction is basically sociolinguistic (see

SOCIOLINGUISTICS) whereas Chomsky's is basically psycholinguistic

What is langue and what is language?

Langue is the formal rules, structures and such of language (linguistic ability). Language is a system of symbols that make up words. The difference between langue and language is that langue is a "system" and is not necessarily in use while language is used for the purpose of communication. Saussure distinguishes the system of language (Langue) from particular instances of speech and writing ( Parol). The task of linguistics is to reconstruct the underlying system (grammar) of a language that makes it possible the speech events (Parol).[Culler 1997]

Can a parole officer lock you up if you disobey a order that's not even written on your parole terms such not going to go community service?

Yes, a PO can return you to incarceration for disobeying his directives. The PO has full direct supervision of the parolee. As such the parolee is required to do what he is told, when he is told, how he is told--much like while the parolee was a prison inmate. Legally, there is no difference between actual incarceration and parole. Parole is just a change of venue.
