Abstract: The paper discusses the differences in communication strategies used by members of intercultural families, which include: the degree of explicitness that is largely dependent on whether the communicator belongs to a high-context or a low-context culture; the use of understatement or overstatement; the choice of communication style and register of discourse; the form of self-presentation; behaviour in conflict situations; the use of humour and silence.
