AS REPORTEDno primary record reached; this is what the reporting says
Is it true that de Saussure's langue and parole differ conceptually from Chomsky's competence and performance?
Yes. Although often superficially compared, Ferdinand de Saussure's langue and parole differ conceptually from Noam Chomsky's competence and performance, primarily because langue is an abstract social fact whereas competence is an individual, internalized mental capacity.
