Parole: In Ferdinand de Saussure's theory, parole is the individual act of speaking. It is the concrete realization of the langue, the social system of language. Parole is therefore ephemeral and variable, while langue is abstract and stable. See also Langue, Language community, Language use, Langue, Communication._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Paul Ricoeur on Parole - Dictionary of Arguments
II 3 Parole/Ricoeur: Even if parole can bebscientifically described, it falls under many sciences including acoustics, physiology, sociology, and the history of semantic changes, whereas langue is the object of a single science, the description the synchronic systems of language. >Langue/Ricoeur, >Code/Ricoeur. II 7 Parole (...) is heterogeneous, besides being individual, diachronic, and contingent. But parole also presents a structure that is irreducible in a specific sense to that of the combinatory possibilities opened up by the oppositions between discrete entities. ( >Structural linguistics/Ricoeur). This structure is the synthetic construction of the sentence itself as distinct from any analytic combination of discrete entities. My substitution of the term "discourse" for that of "parole" (which expresses only the residual aspect of a science of "langue") is intended not only to emphasize the specificity of this new unit on which all discourse relies, but also to legitimate the distinction between semiotics and semantics as the two sciences which correspond to the two kinds of units characteristic of language, the sign and the sentence._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
