Types of Competence in Linguistics: A Review of Processes and Their Implications in Human Perception and Action
Journal Title: Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 57, Issue 1
Abstract
Scientific research and studies concerning the definition and scope of the term 'competence' have been one of the major fields within linguistic studies since the 1960s. Research on this subject liberated linguistic studies from structural boundaries and helped linguistics to become a multidisciplinary field nourished especially by psychology, sociology and cultural studies. This paper argues that the study of the competence types in linguistics not only paved the way to a better understanding of how language is produced and perceived by language users, but also increased the language users' awareness to become more knowledgeable in cross-cultural interactions and their underlying theories. This research is particularly interested in pragmatic competence as the utmost point of related studies since the development of pragmatic competence embodies the skills and abilities to utilize the cognition and perception of the language user even in unforeseen discourses.
