Communicative competence has been studied for decades and focuses on the social and cultural aspects of communicating in a second language. It was first coined by Dell Hymes in 1972 as going beyond Chomsky's view of linguistic competence. James Cummins later proposed distinguishing between cognitive academic language proficiency and basic interpersonal communication skills. Canale and Swain's 1983 definition of communicative competence included four subcategories: grammatical competence, discourse competence, sociolinguistic competence, and strategic competence. Functions of language are the purposes accomplished through communication, such as stating, requesting, responding, greeting, and parting.

Communicative competence is a construct that
has been a topic of interest for at least four
decades, recent trends have put less emphasis
on structural and cognitive characteristic of
communication and more on the myriad social,
cultural, and pragmatic implications of what it
means to communicate in a second language.

-Defining communicate
competence (CC)

5. The term CC was coined by Dell Hymes (1972,
1967), a sociolinguist who was convinced that
Chomsky’s (1965) notion of competence (see
chapter 2) was too limited.
James Cummins (1980, 1979) proposed a
distinction between cognitive/academic
language proficiency (CALP) and basic
interpersonal communicative skills (BICS)

6. 
In Canale and Swain’s and later in Canale’s
(1983) definition, four different components, or
subcategories, made up the construct of CC the
first subcategories reflected the use of the
linguistic system itself the last two defined the
functional aspects of communication.
