Social Interaction in a Multicultural Group: How People from Different Cultural and Linguistic Background Negotiate Communication and Establish Relations

Abstract: There has been a wealth of studies that explore the interplay between culture and communication. However, many of these investigations tend to focus disproportionately on misunderstanding, communication breakdowns and failures. Indeed, it can be argued that the problematic nature of communication among individuals from different cultural backgrounds has turned intercultural communication research into a “celebration of miscommunication” (Sarangi & Roberts 1993). This is not to underestimate the potential challenges and difficulties that might arise in encounters among individuals from different cultures; but rather to narrow the gap between the failures and the successesThe present investigation seeks to bring out the recognition of the need to move in the direction of paying more attention to communication successes. Drawing from pragmatics, discourse analysis and ethnography, this research analyzes naturally occurring audio-recorded data and interviews taken from a 12-week ethnographic study of an employment preparation program for Canadian immigrants where English is used as a common language. Research participants consist of teachers and adult students who come from different national and ethnic origins. Preliminary findings illustrate how group members subvert institutional classroom discourse, challenge (im) politeness conventions and create new rules for negotiating meaning while at the same time maintaining solidarity and harmony. As Blommaert (1998) argues, when members of different cultures meet, “people shift into a medium which is no one's property,” and “cultural conventions get sacrificed in a split second.” BLOMMAERT, J.
