Abstract
Intercultural communication : the creation of a new discipline. Intercultural communication, a university discipline which appeared in the United-States at the end of the 60s, is the scientific study of the barriers to communication between individuals of different cultures and sub-cultures. This field of research opened when the two trends relating to culture and communication overlapped from 1965 onwards. Intercultural communication, in order to build up its object and to assert its legitimacy, relies on a certain number of subdisciplines derived from contemporary, cultural anthropology : cognitive anthropology and symbolics in particular. It also gives great importance to the phenomenological alternative which inspires the social theory of today (ethnome-thodology applied to the school sector, for instance). Intercultural communication is particularly interesting for the world of education, international management and all the institutions concerned with the improvement of interethnic relations. The intermixing of populations in the world of today will more and more impose the development of serious scientific studies in this field.
