LITERATURE AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The concepts of language and speech — and this is obvious from practice nowadays (for almost everyone) — are related concepts, although not identical. The idea that they need to be distinguished arose in the minds of scientists, first of all philosophers, and then linguists, a very long time ago. The "duality" of linguistic phenomena was pointed out by outstanding linguists of the past — Wilhelm von Humboldt, I. A. Baudouin de Courtenay and others.
