METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES TO THE STUDY OF THE PHENOMENON OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE

Abstract

The paper is dedicated to a comprehensive analysis of methodological approaches to the phenomenon of “communicative competence”. Linguistic, sociolinguistic, discursive and strategic competencies as part of communicative competence are studied. Personal, praxiological, situational, competence and axiological (cultural) approaches are described as elements of the structure of communicative competence. Design-related, strategic and control-evaluation functions of communicative competence are analyzed. The phenomenon of the “communicative barrier” is considered from the point of view of the cultural approach. Communicative barriers have been studied in different cultural contexts: social; semantic; psychoemotional. Methodological approaches to the study of the essence of the phenomenon of communicative competence are described, a number of essential functions of communicative competence are identified, the idea of uncertainty and ambiguity of this term is emphasized.
