An opposition introduced by [[Saussure]] to describe two aspects of [[language]] and two contrasting approaches to [[linguistics]].
The [[synchronic ]] approach studies the [[state ]] of a [[language]] at a given [[stage ]] of its evolution and facilitates the [[analysis ]] of the [[system ]] of [[internal ]] relations that constitutes it as a [[language]].THe diachronic approach typical of [[philology]] traces the historical evolution of a [[language]] through [[time ]] by recording the changes that have taken [[place ]] in it.Most [[schools ]] of modern [[linguistics]] can be described as synchronic.
