ELT- Autobiographic memory: a source for communicative competence
Abstract
Language with all its paraphernalia, opens its wings of expression and communication in to new horizons of aesthetic experience. In addition, there is the inherent nature of language itself, which ultimately represents, symbolises, expresses, and can even shape our experience, but it is not the experience itself .With in communication, there is a lot of translation that must take place to go from the essence of our personal experience to the communication of words. In order to understand autobiographic memories, we use language to bridge the gap between dimensions ― between the dimension of subjective experience and the dimension of objective manifestation.
