Metacommunicative competence
Metacommunicative competence refers to competence in metacommunication such as to give the ability to intervene (in a guiding or constructively controlling way) within difficult conversations and to correct communication problems by utilizing the different ways of practical communication:
- verbal communication: by words either orally or in text.
- paraverbal communication: e.g. loudness of speaking, prosody, intonation, silences, interruption or interfering the conversation. (main articles: Meta-communication, Paralanguage)
- nonverbal communication: kinesics (facial expression, eye contact, gestures); proxemics
- extraverbal communication: meaning conveyed through the communication's context, including: time, place, orientation towards target groups, tactile (feeling by touching) and olfactory (smelling) aspects
