Communicative competence is a term in linguistics which refers to a language user's grammatical knowledge of syntax, morphology, phonology and the like, as well as social knowledge about how and when to use utterances appropriately. Hope this helps

speaker's internalized knowledge both of the grammatical rules of a language and of the rules for appropriate use in social contexts.
