DELL
HATHAWAY
HYMES
Born in Portland, Oregon on the 7th of June, 1927
Died on the 13th of November, 2009 in Charlottesville, Virginia due to the complications of his Alzheimer’s disease
Linguist, sociolinguist, anthropologist, and folklorist
“Two Types of Linguistic Relativity” (1966); “On Communicative Competence” (1972)
HYMES
His work in the Army as a DECODER is part of what influenced him to become a linguist
INFLUENCES ON HIS WORKS:American Tradition:Franz Boas, Edward Sapir and Harry HoijerPrague Linguistic Circle:Roman JakobsonSociologist:Erving GoffmanEthnomethodologist:Harold Garfinkel, Harvey Sacks, Emanuel
SChegloff and Gail Jefferson
HYMES
Hymes
Pioneering the study
of the relationship between language and social
context
Focused on poetics (poetic organization of
Native American oral narratives)
Communicative Competence
andThe "S-P-E-A-K-I-N-
G" Model
Sometimes referred to as pragmatic or sociolinguistic competence
Knowledge necessary to use language in SOCIAL context, as an object of linguistic inquiry
Coined by DELL HYMES (1966) in reaction to Noam Chomsky’s notion of “linguistic competence” (1965)
Communicative Competence
Question:What do you (as a
language learner) think is the goal of
LANGUAGE COURSE?
Linguistic vs. Communicative(Competence)
Probable Answer:It is to teach the GRAMMAR and
VOCABULARY of that language.
Linguistic vs. Communicative(Competence)
Question:What is YOUR own
PERSONAL GOAL as an L2 learner?
Linguistic vs. Communicative(Competence)
Probable Answer:It is to be able to
COMMUNICATE in the L2 of your choice.
Linguistic vs. Communicative(Competence)
In linguistics terminology, a language course should not only have “linguistic competence” as its goal, but “communicative competence” in GENERAL.
What does this mean?
“…a normal child acquires knowledge of sentences not only as grammatical, but also as appropriate. He or she acquires competence as to when to speak, when not, and as to what to talk about with whom, when, where, in what manner. In short, a child becomes able to accomplish a repertoire of speech acts, to take part in speech events, and to evaluate their accomplishment by others.”(Hymes 1972, 277)
As Hymes observes:
A language learner/user needs to use the language not only CORRECTLY but also APPROPRIATELY.
PLEASE REMEMBER THIS!!!

STRATEGIC
FOUR COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE
Linguistic competence is the knowledge of the language code, i.e. its grammar and vocabulary, and also of the conventions of its written representation (script and orthography).
grammar component includes:PhoneticsPhonologyMorphologySyntaxSemantics
FOUR COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE
Sociolinguistic competence is the knowledge of socio-cultural rules of use, i.e. knowing how to use and respond to language appropriately.
appropriateness depends on:setting of the communicationTopicrelationships among the people communicatingknowing what the taboos arewhat politeness indices are usedwhat the politically correct term would be for
somethinghow a specific attitude (authority, friendliness,
courtesy, irony etc.) is expressed
FOUR COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE
Discourse competence is the knowledge of how to produce and comprehend oral or written texts in the modes of speaking/writing and listening/reading respectively. It’s knowing how to combine language structures into a cohesive and coherent oral or written text of different types.
discourse competence deals with:organizing words, phrases and sentences in
order to create conversations, speeches, poetry, email messages, newspaper articles etc.
FOUR COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE
Strategic competence is the ability to recognize and repair communication breakdowns before, during, or after they occur.
For instance:the speaker may not know a certain word, thus
will plan to either paraphrase, or ask what that word is in the target language.
During the conversation, background noise or other factors may hinder communication; thus the speaker must know how to keep the communication channel open.
After, clarifications can be made if the presentation of the topic was not clear enough.
FOUR COMPONENTS OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE
Hymes developed a valuable model to assist the identification and labeling of components of linguistic interaction that was driven by his view that, in order to speak a language correctly, one needs not only to learn its vocabulary and grammar, but also the context in which words are used.
The "S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G" Model
The model had sixteen components that can be applied to many sorts of discourse: message form; message content; setting; scene; speaker/sender; addressor; hearer/receiver/audience; addressee; purposes (outcomes); purposes (goals); key; channels; forms of speech; norms of interaction; norms of interpretation; and genres.
The "S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G" Model
Hymes constructed the acronym SPEAKING, under which he grouped the sixteen components within eight divisions:S - Setting and SceneP - ParticipantsE - EndsA - Act SequenceK - KeyI - InstrumentalitiesN – NormsG - Genre
The "S-P-E-A-K-I-N-G" Model
Setting – physical
circumstances
Scene – psychological
setting or cultural definition
Setting and Scene
Which shows the Setting? Scene?
• Speaker
and audience
- Audience can
be
distinguished
as
ADDRESSEES
and OTHER
HEARERS
Participants
EndsPurposes, goals, and outcomes
Act SequenceForm and order of the event
KeyClues that establish the "tone, manner, or spirit" of the speech act
InstrumentalitiesForms and styles of speech.
NormsSocial rules governing the event and the participants' actions and reaction.
GenreThe kind of speech act or event; for the example used here, the kind of story.

COMPONENTS OF LANGUAGE COMPETENCE (BACHMAN, 1990)
BACHMAN• The organizational competence is divided into
grammatical competence and textual competence.
• Bachman’s grammatical competence is consonant with Canale and Swain’s grammatical competence.
The textual competence, pertains to the knowledge of conventions for cohesion and coherenceand rehetorical organization. It also includes conventions for language use in conversations, involving starting, maintaining, and closing conversations.
• Bachman’s textual competence have both the part of Canale and Swain’s discourse competence and
the part of their strategic competence.
BACHMAN’S VIEWBachman’s pragmatic competence, mainly
focuses on the relationship between what one says in his or her communicative acts and what functionshe or she intends to perform through his or her utterances.
