La testualità come fulcro della competenza comunicativa
Abstract
The notion of communicative competence, the theoretical basis of the communicative approach, was widely discussed in the 1970-80s, but in our century it has not been any longer analysed systematically, thus turning into an intuitive notion rather than a scientific one. The author considers the increasing interest of educational linguists in the textual component of communicative competence and proposes a shift from the theoretical model of competence he designed in the 1990s to a new model, where textual elements play a central role.
