Answer:

The deep structure allows the speaker or reader to understand what actually the sentence means. while surface structure help to identify the structure phonetic form.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is a minute difference between both the structure of language i.e. structure and deep. These terms were proposed by Noam Chomsky. He defines depth structure as a concept, ideas, etc while the word or sentence that we used to present deep structure is considered as surface structure.

The deep structure allows the speaker or reader to understand what actually the sentence means. while surface structure help to identify the structure phonetic form.
