The paper gives an overview of the development of the emerging field of Cultural Linguistics as well as its potential in terms of exploring conceptual metaphors, World Englishes and intercultural communication in general from the point of view of hidden cultural conceptualizations. The author comes to the conclusion that metacultural competence is a key to successful intercultural competence.

Keywords: cultural linguistics, cultural cognition, cultural schema, intercultural communication, conceptual metaphor, World Englishes, Aboriginal English, cultural conceptualizations, metacultural competence.
