Jazyková kompetencia ako determinant jazykovej ekonómie = Language competence as a determinant of language economics / Jana Pecníková, Daniela Mališová. -- The aim of the contribution is to theoretically define the multidimensional nature of communicative language competence in the context of the labour market needs. Language economics contains the intersection among economic, language and political processes and their components. The subject of research is the language competence of young people in the countries of the European Union and Slovakia. The object of research is the international and domestic labour market. In the contribution, we use secondary data collected from international and domestic statistical portals. We find out that language asymmetry hinders economic flow and active knowledge of a foreign language has a direct impact on employability on the labour market. Therefore, we see the development of language competence as an investment that supports integration in the labour market. We find that among young Slovaks, language competence in English dominates, which copies the development in the countries of the European Union. In the last observed periods, language competence in the Russian language is also increasing in Slovakia. As part of the submitted contribution, we are implementing a pilot case study, the aim of which is to bring this topic to the Slovak professional public and to link economics and language through research.
