In this study, we intend to discuss questioning as a sign of Intercultural Communicative Competence in plurilingual environments, stressing the relationship between questioning and the process of developing discovery skills in Romance chat-rooms. Focusing specifically on episodes beginning with intercultural questioning, we will analyse: (1) typical situations leading to these kinds of questions and; (2) recurrent discursive topics of the "corpus." These two subjects will allow us to reflect on how plurilingual/intercultural on-line communication 're-socializes' individuals, creating new images/representations about others and their (inter)cultural identities and by promoting a greater awareness of what it means to participate in intercultural discussions. (Contains 2 tables and 8 notes.)
