Editor's Notes

  • #3 The term COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE was born out of resistance to the concept of linguistic competence. Many scholars consider communicative competence more encompassing than the linguistic, which is seen to be only a part of communicative competence.
  • #6 Morphology- internal structure of words. Syntax- arrangement of words in a sentence. Semantics- meaning of language expressions. Phonetics- sounds of human speech- in sign language, the equivalent aspects of sign. Orthography- the methodology of writing a language.
  • #7 Knowledge of rules and conventions which underlie the appropriate comprehension and language in different sociolinguistic and sociocultural contexts. WHAT TO SAY- choosing the right words for a situation. HOW TO SAY- sometime it’s not what you say but how you say it, you might be misunderstood. WHEN TO SAY- how appropriate the language in a certain situation. FOR WHOM- who are you talking to?
  • #9 Brown- “a speaker’s ability to adapt his/her use of verbal and non-verbal language to compensate for communication problems caused by the speaker’s lack of understanding of proper grammar use and/or insufficient knowledge of social behavioural and communication norms.”
