Parole is the French word for speech. Ferdinand de Saussure used this term in his linguistic studies. De Saussure argued it is very important to distinguish Langue (French for language) from parole (French for speech). Langue describes the social, impersonal phenomenon of language as a system of signs, you could say it makes speech possible. This means parole describes the individual, personal phenomenon of language as a series of speech acts made by a linguistic subject. It is the concrete use of language, it uses the system of langue but it is not the system. Still these two terms cannot exist without each other. Language has a social aspect (langue) and a individual aspect (parole).
