Dear Aspirant,

Semantic Barriers means the problems arising because of the different meanings of the words. There are some special terms of technical words used by people belonging to a certain group of field of work such as doctors, lawyers, computer software engineers or college students. They use words which are their own which cannot be understood by anyone outside group.

Linguistic Barriers means the problem arising because of the different across languages. The issue of language barrier is particularly critical during intercultural service encounters.

How can they be overcome

Semantic and Linguistic Barriers can be overcome if the sender and the receiver choose a language which both of them understand very well. Language barriers can be avoided by careful study and accurate use of language. Clarity should be the main objective when using language.
