　　A linguistic study is deive if it describes and analyses facts observed; it is preive if it tries to lay down rules for "correct" behavior.

　　3.3 Synchronic(共时) and Diachronic(历时) Studies

　　The deion of a language at some point in time is a synchronic study and The deion of a language as it changes through time is a diachronic study.

　　3.4 Langue(语言) and Parole(言语)

　　This is a distinction made by the Swiss linguist F.De Saussure (索绪尔)early last century. langue refers to the abstract linguistic system shared by all the members of a speech community and parole refers to the actualized(实际的) language, or realization of langue.

　　3.5 Competence(能力)and Performance(行为)

　　Competence is the ideal language user's knowledge of the rules of his language. Performance is the actual realization of this knowledge in utterances(发声).

　　4.The Scope of Linguistics

　　General linguistics is the study of language as a whole.

　　Phonetics(语音学) is the branch of linguistics which studies the characteristics of speech sounds and provides methods for their deion, classification and tranion.
