LINGVOPRAGMATIC COMPETENCE IS AN IMPORTANT FACTOR IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Linguopragmatic competence is considered as a part of pragmatic competence. Pragmatic competence generally refers to the ability of language participants to use language appropriately and contextually in communicative situations. It includes understanding and following the social, cultural and pragmatic rules of the language. Linguopragmatic competence is a special aspect of pragmatic competence, aimed at using language tools (lexical, grammatical and syntactic structures) in a contextually appropriate manner to achieve specific communicative goals. In other words, linguopragmatic competence emphasizes the linguistic aspects of pragmatic language use. For example, selecting and using specific linguistic tools to perform speech acts (such as compliments, requests, or apologies) falls under linguopragmatic competence. While linguopragmatic competence is a component of pragmatic competence, it specifically focuses on the specialized skills related to the pragmatic use of language.
