Comunicativi

Comunicativi is the plural form of the Italian adjective comunicativo, meaning relating to communication or capable of conveying information. In Italian linguistics and grammar, the adjective is used to describe features, acts, or strategies that facilitate the exchange of information between speakers. The term derives from Latin communicativus, from commūnicāre, to share or impart.

In educational and professional contexts, the phrase competenze comunicative (communication skills) is widespread. These competenze encompass listening, reading, speaking, writing, and the management of discourse, as well as non-verbal cues and pragmatic abilities such as turn-taking and audience adaptation. The notion emphasizes both receptive and productive abilities and is often used to assess curricula, training programs, and job requirements.

In organizational and media settings, expressions such as contenuti comunicativi, strategie comunicative, or canali comunicativi describe the materials, messages, and channels chosen to convey information and persuade audiences. The form communicates not only linguistic content but also intent, tone, and sociocultural appropriateness.

In sociology and discourse studies, comunicativi may refer to interactive practices that sustain dialogue, negotiate meaning, or express social identities. The term is versatile and can be combined with other nouns (competence, media, strategy) to specify areas of focus within communication studies, language education, marketing, and human-computer interaction.
