* LEXICAL COMPETENCE: is far more than the ability to
identify a given number of words. The process by which
learners acquire a great deal information about a word
takes place gradually over a long period of time, and it is
very elaborate. Is the knowledge of, and ability to use, the
vocabulary of a language, consists of lexical elements and
grammatical elements. *GRAMATICAL COMPETENCE may be
defined as knowledge of, and ability to use, the gramatical
resources of a language, is the ability to understand and
express meaning by producing and recognising well-formed
phrases and sentences in accordance with these principles.
Is the knowledge of the lexical ítems and of rules of
morphology, syntax, sentence grammar semantics, and
phonology. *SEMANTIC COMPETENCE: deals with the
learner’s awareness and control of the organisation of
meaning. Lexical semantics deals with questions of word
meaning. The notion of semantic competence does not take
account of the reference of
PHONOLOGICAL COMPETENCE is the ability to recognize and produce the distinctive meaningful
sounds of a language, including: Consonants, vowels, tone patterns, intonation patterns, rhythm
patterns, stress patterns, any other suprasegmental features that carry meaning. Related to
phonological competence is orthographic competence, or the ability to decipher and write the
writing system of a language. involves a knowledge of, and skill in the perception and production of: •
the sound-units (phonemes) of the language and their realisation in particular contexts (allophones);
• the phonetic features which distinguish phonemes (distinctive features, e.g. voicing, rounding,
nasality, plosion); • the phonetic composition of words (syllable structure, the sequence of
phonemes, Word stress, word tones); • sentence phonetics (prosody) • sentence stress and rhythm •
intonation; phonetic reduction • vowel reduction • strong and weak forms • assimilation • elision.
SOCOLINGUISTIC COMPETENCE refer to the sociocultural conditions of language use. Through its
sensitivity to social conventions and the social convnetions that rule language use in a specific
speech community. * LINGUISTIC MARKERS of social relations These are of course widely divergent in
different languages and cultures, depending on such factors as a) relative status, b) closeness of
relation, c) register of discourse, etc. The examples given below for English are not universally
applicable and may or may not have equivalence in other languages. +POLITENESS CONVENTIONS
provide one of the most important reasons for departing from the straightforward application of the
‘co-operative principle from one culture to another and are a frequent source of inter-ethnic
misunderstanding, especially when polite expressions are literally interpreted.
***PRAGMATIC COMPETENCE refers to the ability to use language appropriately in
different social situations. It is true to say that there is no correct way to use
language; however, we can certainly define what is appropriate use of language in
different circumstances. Purposes for communicating, often referred to as functions,
e.g., inviting, apologizing. *** DISCOURSE COMPETENCE refers to the way ideas are
linked across sentences (in written discourse) or utterances (in spoken discourse). We
use two main aspects to undestand Discourse Competence:: Cohesion, which refers
to how we link ideas linguistically. For example, we use pronouns to refer to what or
who has been mentioned previously, e.g., he, it, one, none, that, this. Another
example includes the use of an auxiliary verb as a substitute for the main verb, e.g.,
‘Do you work here?’ ‘Yes, I do.'

CONCLUSIONS.
Based on the study, it should be affirmed, that we are primarily "social" beings, in the sense that we spend most of our lives with others. It is therefore important to
learn to understand each other and function properly in social situations. Certain communication skills help us to improve interpersonal relationships. Linguistic
competence, is characterized by the ability of a speaker to produce and interpret verbal signs. Knowledge and appropriate use of the linguistic code allows an
individual to create, play and perform an infinite number of sentences. This knowledge and employment are linked to two different modes of language: the language
as a system of signs and language in use, in use. The linguistic competence refers to the use of language as an instrument of oral and written communication,

LINGUISTIC COMPETENCES: They relate
to the range and quality of knowledge,
cognitive organisation, the way this
knowledge is stored and its accessibility.

knowledge of, and ability to use, the
vocabulary of a language. It consists of
lexical elements (fixed expressions and
single word forms) and grammatical
elements. GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE:
