SEMANTIC DIFFICULTIES
One of the common hurdles in the
effectiveness of communication is the type of
language used.
If language used by the sender is not
understood by the receiver then it will lead to
unsuccessful communication.
The use of technical jargons and complex
words leads to difference in meaning to the
sender and the receiver.
The difference of cultural background,
educational status and destination further
widens this difference. For example –
labelling the symptoms as arthritis is not a
serious matter for the doctors, but for
patients the word is complex word and may
lead to anxiety and fear.
PREOCCUPIED ATTENTION
