Language Barriers “Language is a system of words used as symbols to convey ideas, and it has rules of syntax, semantics, and context” ( McLean, 2010). It allows you to communicate. Whenever a speaker wants to give a message, there must be a choice of words, a presentation, and a channel between that speaker and the person receiving that message. One has to deliver and properly conveyed or shaped. This portrays communication with the respective principles or rules. Communication also has barriers and language can pose a problem when communicating.
The six (6) major barriers to effective communication business are: slang, doublespeak, cliché, jargon, sexist and racist language, and euphemisms. Slang involves using different expressions while communicating with people you hang around with rather on a regular basis or closed friends and colleagues. It 's a “special” language used where certain people whom are close friends and colleagues would understand what you mean and others (general public) wouldn 't.
For example, when I was in high school, there was a group from my ROTC program who hung out all the time, I could not understand certain things they said when they addressed me. Yet, they understood each other pretty well. One person would say something like:” are we finna slide to the crib tonight after we ball?” Which meant if they were
You think you can play on my team? What do you think this is, Lake Windsor Middle School You think we gotta take very chump who shows up? You think ‘cause your mommy buys you a jockstrap you’re automatically on my team?’ I looked at him calmly.
During a defensive drill, Tamika defended her usual way, standing straight up, super-aggressive, going after the ball. But, coach Pat had stopped the drill and suggested, “Bend your knees, arms out and move with the player.” The coach even came over and positioned her in the correct way and said, “slide.” Then, after that Tamika did the drill again, exactly the same way she had defended last time. As a result, the coach stopped the drill and told her to fix the same thing, only this she was starting to look stern.
“Ready to play some basketball!” yelled his father. “Yes” responded Brent in an exhausted tone. As Brent reached for the ball with one long arm, he loaded up and fired at the basket. Swish!
Those who had laughed were given dirty looks from their fellow teammates. Jogging around third corner of the field, I started to regret having dinner right before practice. When we finished jogging around the entirety of both fields, Coach was waiting for us with a bucket of lacrosse balls. “Alright! Today, we are starting out with something basic.
my mother yelled. I attempted to explain how I wasn’t going to let down my team because of one injury. “Baseball is my whole life, mom. Tomorrow is the first tournament game,” I explained, “I will find a way to play.” Me being the stubborn kid I am, I talked them into letting me play.
I laughed. She shrugged her shoulders, “Who doesn’t like to stare at men in tight pants?” I looked out at the field, “So…they are just throwing the balls back and forth. I’ll try to contain my excitement.”
The coach was walking around the bench area asking us where the team was. I was not surprised because I knew the players well enough to know that they are late to things like these. “The whole team has a commitment of being here. I would hate to have to cancel the game because most of our players are irresponsible and can’t show up on time.” He said walking back and forth around the bench area with his head hanging.
When he went downstairs to go get his phone, he had already been watching the game and we knew he knew how to use it. After a while we let him watch the game to get him back to his happy side we confronted to him. “Dad” I mentioned. “Yes, Kaylea” my dad exclaimed. “Mom and I pranked you, but we never realized it had to go this far where you would be learning and probably ‘breaking’ your phone” we apologized.
My older brother,Luis,and I were both tired of being inside all day ,so we decided to go outside. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were watching a re-run of the NFL game from last week. “Are you getting bored?” Luis asked me .
Language is used everyday in lives. We use it to communicate with each other to show how we feel or think. Comfort can drift away from us if we do not have the ability to communicate with others. Barriers can present themselves when trying to communicate inhibiting language. In the short story Out of All Them Bright Stars by Nancy Kress, she puts an alien in a normal dinner and everyone is uncomfortable with his presence there except his waitress.
One of the all-time, greatest shows to ever grace my television screen is, none other than, The Office. Michael Scott, played by Steve Carrell, is every embodiment of how one should NOT talk and act in American society. His language and communicative style completely opposes that which is acceptable. Consequently, I thought what better for me to use in this assignment then a scene from The Office that makes me burst out into laughter time and time again – Season 3, episode 1: “Gay Witch Hunt” (17:00 – 19:45).
M.W. Cummin describes the word communication “process of conveying message (fact, ideas, attitudes and opinions) from one person to another so that they are understood”.

Introduction Business communication is a process where both the employer and the employees in a company share and exchange information. Be it the corporate world or the education arena, priority is given to ‘speaking’ correct English. People in these fields have understood that communication skills mean speaking skills. Most people think that writing skills are not essential for effective communication. But that is not the truth.
