Define Communication. Explain any four semantic barriers of communication. |
|
Answer» Semantics is the study of right choice of words. The semantic network of sender may be different from that of the receiver and therefore, the message may not understand as intended. The word ‘profits’ has different meaning-pretax profits or posttax profits, fixed amount of profit or rate of return. Various semantic barriers of communication are as follows: (a) Symbols with different meaning. A word can have different meaning in different contexts. Wrong perception leads to communication problems. (b) Badly expressed message. It may happen on account of omission of needed words, inadequate vocabulary, usage of wrong words, etc. (c) Technical Jargon. Sometimes, people may not understand the actual meaning of technical jargon used by specialists. (d) Body language and gesture decoding. Communication may be wrongly perceived if there is no match between what is said and what is expressed in body movements. |
