[...] The differences in domains remain derived from the notion of surface. Q. 6. Zemmour (2004, p.26) defines linguistics as ''the science that describes language, in its universal constants common to all languages, but also correlatively in its variations from one language to another and in its individual manifestations ». In this sense, for linguistics, the structure and functioning of languages are studied in an empirical and descriptive manner (Zemmour p.52). Applied linguistics, on the other hand, focuses on real contexts and societal issues. [...]

[...] According to Zemmour (2004, p.56), a just return of things, some of the theories of structuralism (the distinction between paradigmatic and syntagmatic) have allowed to describe certain pathologies».
