This document contains 4 questions about linguistic and communicative competence:
1. It asks to explain that pragmatic effectiveness of language depends more on how well it communicates rather than just being grammatically correct.
2. It asks to explain that the intended meaning or "illocutionary force" of language like promises or advice depends on the shared context and assumptions between the speaker and listener.
3. It asks to explain the difference between linguistic competence, which is just knowledge of grammar rules, and communicative competence, which is the ability to use language appropriately in social contexts.
4. It asks to explain that Hymes identified 4 aspects of communicative competence - the possible, feasible, appropriate, and

1. The issue is not whether a piece of language is grammatically or lexically
well formed as a sentence or not but how far it is pragmatically effective as an act of communication. Explain. 2. The illocutionary force of promise, or advice, or anything else, will again depend on the context of knowledge and assumption that the speaker assumes to be shared. Explain. 3. What is the difference between linguistic competence and communicative competence? Give an example. 4. Hymes identifies the possible, the feasible, the appropriate, and the performed as four distinct aspects of communicative competence, and in the analysis in use we can focus attention on any one of them. Explain what is focused on in each of them.
