Keywords:
Speech culture, communicative competence, language norm, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, stylistics, rhetoric, discourse, language education, linguistic competenceAbstract
Speech culture is a multidimensional phenomenon studied in linguistics, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, rhetoric, and pedagogy. It encompasses the mastery of literary language norms, communicative appropriateness, ethical standards, and stylistic competence in oral and written discourse. This article analyzes the core components forming speech culture based on established linguistic and pedagogical research. Drawing on works in communicative competence theory, functional stylistics, and language normativity, the study identifies linguistic, communicative, pragmatic, ethical, cognitive, and sociocultural components as fundamental elements in shaping speech culture. The research synthesizes theoretical findings and highlights their relevance for educational practice and language policy.
