THE COMMUNICATION IN MULTICULTURAL AND MULTILINGUAL CONTEXTS

Summary/Abstract: The acceptance especially of cultural changes and the adaptation to the new social environment, the multicultural and multilingual context, require three determining aspects: a stimulation of receptiveness by comparing the foreign, strange, different culture with the own, familiar culture, so that alterity and multiple identity are recognized, a relativization of “the cultural background”, as Bourdieu says, that in fact implies the questioning and the negotiation of the shared knowledge, and a communication competence, which involves much more than structures of interpersonal, intracultural communication.
