The Intercultural Conversation: Theoretical Perspectives and Proposal for an Ideal and Pragmatical Model

The present study aims to make a pragmatic model conversation between people of different cultures from the point of view of the Intercultural Linguistic Pragmatics. To complete our purposes, we use a specific methodology in which the connection between language and social anthropology is expressed: ethnomethodology. To achieve that, we have previously pointed a series of theoretical considerations related to how affect different cultural influences in the generation of distinct discourses.In the same way, we think about the functions that cultural mediator, endowed with intercultural competence, performs in order to make communicative competence successful.

Keywords: Linguistics; cultural communication; communication strategies; intercultural dialogue.
