GRUNDBEGRIFFE DER INTERKULTURELLEN KOMMUNIKATION – KULTUR UND SPRACHE

Summary/Abstract: Technically the intercultural communication works by the same rules as the intracultural communication. Between the two forms of communication there are no qualitative differences because intercultural communication can’t be conceived outside the intracultural communication system. In both cases is one and the same communication mechanism, only the variables according to which the communication process is developing are different. Such a variable is the cultural heterogeneity of the interactants, which actually is the limit between intra-cultural and inter-cultural. The greater is the heterogeneity the greater the degree of interculturality. More homogeneous culturally is considered an individual the clearer is its delimitation of all that is culturally different. The heterogeneity is related to the settings, values, standards, traditions, horizons of expectation, in one word to the culture of the interactants.
