Interculturality is a concept that captures the complex phenomenon of intercultural contact,including intercultural communication. The concept of intercultural communication combines the concepts of interculturality
and communication. It also describes the problems and pitfalls of misunderstanding, and the skills and competences required for successfully understanding members of other cultures. Examples for intercultural
|
communication studies are given from the area of intercultural German studies. The semiotic aspect of intercultural communication is important,
as it goes far beyond the realms of language alone. In institutional communication potential misunderstandings should be anticipated
by counseling immigrants, for example. Examples are also given from different literatures and theater traditions, and immigrant discourse
in films.
