The paper provides the study of the phenomenon of metacommunication in modern psychology. The article introduces two basic approaches to the study of the concept of metacommunication, examines various definitions of this term, and adopts a broad understanding of metacommunication as communication that accompanies communication. The paper outlines the analysis of the terms that start with the prefix “meta-” and highlights the concepts that set the categorical apparatus of metacommunication. The conducted research helps to acknowledge the relationship of metacommunication with such concepts as metalanguage and metamessage. Two types of metacommunicative strategies are differentiated. It was stated that by virtue of its characteristics, metacommunication performs vital functions in social interaction.
