Linguistic competence
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linguistic Competence Linguistic Competence was defined in 1965, by Noam Chomsky. This term is used to describe a speaker’s underlying ability to produce grammatically correct expressions. Linguistic Competence is about how well people can form words or a sentence grammatically in the correct format (Ottenheimer, H.J.(2006). The anthropology of language: An Introduction to linguistic anthropology. Belmont, CA: Thomson Wadsworth). It is classified as knowledge of language versus use of language. The object of linguistics is linguistic competence, knowledge of a language possessed by ‘an ideal speaker-listener’. Linguistic competence is designed as a scientific idealization, filtering out ‘grammatically irrelevant conditions’, errors produced in ‘actual linguistic performance’(Linguistic Competence, www.faqs.org/theories/Li-Ly/Linguistic-Competence). Linguistic Competence will not help the communicator to negotiate the complexities of formal and informal address or terms, nor will it alert the communicator when words change their meaning. In order to use language successfully a person would need to understand the concept of communicative competence (Ottenheimer, H.J.(2006). The anthropology of language: An Introduction to linguistic anthropology. Belmont, CA: Thomson Wadsworth).
