Langue and Parole

well, i'm facing a confusion in distinguishing the difference between Langue and Parole,in theoritical sense i have no problem but but i relates to a real example ther is the problem . if we take the example of a baby who can't speak or utter some utterences is that because there is no langue? and if so how could he establish langue??

Presumably, a child is born with langue; it is parole that he develops with language experience. Langue encompasses the abstract, systematic rules and conventions of a signifying system; it is independent of, and pre-exists, individual users . Parole refers to the concrete instances of the use of langue.

Mister Micawbersystematic rules and conventions of a signifying system
Do you mean that we are all born with a phonological knowledge, and we know the grammatical system already before we utter them??If so why at the first period the baby makes a lot of mistakes although,normally and according to your statement he already knows the correct rules?

The theory says, I believe, that language is in our genes, so we do not 'know' it consciously.
