Syntax is different from morphology in that the former not only studies the morphemes, but also the combination of morphemes into words and words into sentences.

P （）refers to the realization of langue in actual use.

Morphology

Modern linguistics is different from traditional grammar.

Chomsky defines “competence” as the ideal user’s k（）of the rules of his language.

Langue refers to the a（）linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community while the parole is the concrete use of the conventions and application of the rules.

Syntax

The distinction between competence and performance was proposed by F. de Saussure.

Linguistics

Modern linguistics regards the written language as primary, not the written language.
