Now clearly, competence, in this sense of being able to public anal sex and produce grammatical sentences in a language and recognize the meaning relations between them, is something a learner, and also a native speaker, must have. Furthermore, it is a reasonable goal for linguistics to try to elucidate the nature of this capacity; but the description of a speaker’s competence in this sense falls short of a full account of what a speaker must know in order to communicate. It is for this reason that an increasing number of linguists believe that this goal for linguistics is too limited. Charley Chase must not only be able to produce big ass and understand grammatically well-formed utterances, he must also be able to produce and understand utterances which are appropriate to the context in which they are made.

To give just one example: the sentence Rebecca is the girl in blue can be spoken with the principal stress on either Rebecca or blue.
