چکیده    Second language learners often develop grammatical competence in the absence of concomitant pragmatic competence (kasper & roever, 2005) and the exact nature of the relationship between the two competences is still indistinct and in need of inquiries ( bardovi-harlig, 1999; khatib & ahmadisafa, 2011). this study is a partial attempt to address the lacuna and aims to see if any relationship can be found between english as a foreign language (efl) learners’ lexico-grammatical and interlanguage pragmatic competences and if such a relationship is found, whether the gender variable affects it or not. a group of 110 male/female senior university efl students took a standardized lexico-grammatical proficiency test and a researcher made and validated multiple choice pragmatic discourse completion task test including four speech acts of disagreement, scolding, request and complaint at four levels of formality and familiarity. the results indicate that there is a positive correlation between the learners' lexico-grammatical and pragmatic competences. furthermore, the correlation is stronger for female efl learners than the male participants though the pragmatic competence level of the male and female participants was not significantly different. the results imply that grammatical competence is not in itself sufficient for the efl learners' pragmatic competence but it can definitely constrain the development of interlanguage pragmatic competence.
