In the article the authors analyze the problems of intercultural contact in written communication on the basis of bilingual scientific texts, such as scientific study, collection of scientific papers and lesson book. The ways of transfer of verbal and nonverbal (paragraphic) elements are discussed with consideration for such parameters of the communicative situation, as addressee, self-positioning of redactor or author of the text and publishing tradition.

The text draws attention to the theory and practice of intercultural contact, constituting the basis of the communal functioning of communities, groups and individuals. By referring to interactionist concepts and praxis, we attempt to present the realities of conducting intercultural (Polish-Israeli) youth meetings. The meetings allow to increase the chance of achieving positive results in the area of reducing mutual stereotypes and prejudice. The text attempts to indicate the possibilities of applying the theory of intercultural contact in praxis related to international Polish-Israeli projects which conform to the framework of intercultural education.

Neighbouring as a type of social interchange and multi-dimensional social phenomenon is of fundamental importance in the social sciences and problems associated with intercultural and interethnic neighbouring are currently on the increase. Contemporary migration processes and ethnic diversity in Poland are relatively new issues that are reflected in the experiences of both migrants and representatives of the host society. The aim of this article is to analyse intercultural neighbourly contacts between Poles and migrants in Warsaw in the context of Erving Goffman’s sociology of interaction. These contacts and the social processes they involve are of great importance when it comes to migrants’ integration in their new place of residence. The article considers how glances, gestures and behaviours are interpreted, leading to the formation of specific opinions and attitudes between migrants and Poles. Both ‘unfocused’ and ‘focused’ interactions are analysed, with an emphasis on expectations and definitions of tactful behaviour in intercultural neighbourly encounters and the concept of ‘polite indifference.’ Conclusions are based on semi-structured interviews conducted with Poles and migrants from Vietnam, Turkey and African countries living in Warsaw, Poland.
