    Barriers of communication can distort the message being understood by the receiver and lead to misunderstanding. There are several types of barriers: Semantic barriers occur when the sender and receiver assign different meanings to words. Physical barriers are environmental conditions like noise that interfere with sending the message. Psychological barriers are related to one's opinions, attitudes, and emotions that affect communication ability. Physiological barriers stem from personal limitations in sight, hearing, or health. Emotional barriers involve a lack of awareness or control of one's emotions during communication. These barriers can result in failure to properly interpret and understand messages between parties.

    Barriers of Communication

    ● Barriers of communication are the difficulties involved


    in the process of communication which distort the
    message being properly understand by the receiver.
    ● “Barriers prevent the communication from being
    effective”
    ● Barriers in communication lead to misunderstanding of
    message among sender and the receiver. It becomes
    difficult to interpret the message correctly leading to a
    complete failure of communication due to these barriers.
    Semantic Barrier 
    • refers to the misunderstanding between the sender and
    receiver arising due to the different meanings of words,
    and other symbols used in the communication.

    For example, the word “crane” has different meaning as shown in the
    sentence below:

    • The bird sanctuary is full of cranes.


    • The builder used a crane to lift heavy steel rods.
    • The girl has to crane her neck to watch the movie.
    Example of Semantic Barrier

    WHAT IS THAT?
    Physical Barrier 
    • is the environmental and natural condition that act as a barrier
    in communication in sending message from sender to
    receiver.
    - includes the following various causes:

    1. Environment – it includes wind, rain, thunder that creates a random noise that
    cannot be stopped anyhow.
    2. Time – shortage of time or sending a message in inappropriate time can be
    significant cause of physical barriers.
    3. Distance – one of the major causes of physical barriers.
    4. Technical problems – an essential cause of physical barriers.
    Physiological Barrier

    • refers to the limitations of the human body and the human


    mind (memory, attention, and perception). 
    • Physiological barriers may result from individuals'
    personal discomfort, caused by ill-health, poor eye sight,
    or hearing difficulties.
    Example of Physiological Barrier
    Psychological Barrier 
    • refers to the psychological state i.e. Opinions, attitudes,
    status consciousness, emotions, etc. of a person that
    deeply affects the ability to communicate.
    - includes the following example:

    1. Anger
    2. Fear and Defensiveness
    3. Attitudes and Values
    4. Abstracting
    5. Emotions
    Emotional Barrier 

    • refers to a lack of emotional awareness or control, often

    our inner emotions, we  can communicate more productively
    with others in the workplace and our everyday lives.
