The language is endowed with three functions: communicative, cognitive and cumulative. The key role is given to the first of them, because without a language communication between people is impossible.

1
By means of communication, they distinguish between verbal and non-verbal communication. Verbal communication occurs through the use of speech, and non-verbal communication through facial expressions and gestures. Speech, in turn, is impossible without knowledge of the language.
2
Thus, language is a means of communication between people. Without it, people would not be able to express their thoughts and feelings verbally, but would communicate using body language. Having a language helps people reach a rapport.
3
Communication can be described as a process of exchanging information. Information refers to information that is accessible to perception and understanding.
4
If the information was successfully perceived and understood, it will certainly cause one or another response from the perceiver. By transmitting information, you can stimulate a person to change behavior.
5
Not necessarily this activity will be active. At a minimum, consideration of the information received will occur.
6
However, mere command of the language as a set of characters does not ensure the successful implementation of a communicative function. For this to happen, a native speaker must have a certain communicative competence.
7
Not all people are able to adequately use their language knowledge and skills, based on the current situation of communication. And the concrete situation of communication carries in itself different conditions each time. It will be useful to develop your skills in using words and grammatical constructions.
eight
There are certain speech conditions that determine the choice of words and grammatical means. Such conditions include the nature of the relationship between the interlocutors and their social roles. The second condition is the place of communication, the third - the goals and intentions of the speakers.
9
We can say that communication skills are communication skills, taking into account all of the above conditions. Therefore, for adequate communication, language competence is so important.
10
The degree of communicative competence also determines a person’s ability to understand other people's programs of speech behavior adequately to the communication situation. This degree depends on knowledge of the basic concepts of linguistic speech. You need to know about the styles and types of speech, to have the skills of retelling.
eleven
Communicative competence today is the key to the successful implementation of a person in a dynamic socio-economic environment. This is a very valuable quality that requires many professions.
