Abstract
This paper seeks to address the question how people go about intercultural differences in an institutional setting which aims to mediate between the socio-legal system and the ‘outsiders’ of the system, i.e. ordinary citizens, through an investigation of professional interactions between a legal advisor and her clients of Eastern European backgrounds in London. Drawing data from a linguistic ethnography, the analysis foregrounds the practice of re semiotisation and calibration. The second aim is to extend the notion of ‘intercultural moments’ and to explore its analytical benefits in understanding fleeting and seemingly mundane moments in encounters. Arykuł ten bada, jak ludzie radzą sobie z różnicami międzykulturowymi winstytucji, która pośredniczy pomiędzy systemem społeczno-prawnym a osobami spoza systemu, zwykłymi obywatelami, poprzez analizę interakcji w sytuacjach zawodowych pomiędzy radcą prawnym a jej klientami w Londynie, pochodzącymi z Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Na podstawie socjolingwistycznych badań etnograficznych, analiza demonstruje praktyki resemiotyzacji oraz kalibracji. Drugim celem jest poszerzenie definicji pojęcia ‘momentów międzykulturowych’ oraz zbadanie ich analitycznych korzyści dla zrozumienia przelotnych i na pozór przyziemnych momentów podczas spotkań.
