Summary
The interactional competence (IC) that is put to use in ELF interactions is substantiated through the interplay of the use of the linguistic code and basic interactional competence (that may result in temporary communicative extensions) as prompted by the immediate communicative needs of the interlocutors. IC is presented as a continuum with two ends: basic interactional competence (BIC) and adapted interactional competence (AIC). In interaction, ELF users move on the continuum according to their communicative needs.
