Hello,

The Semantic barrier in communication can be defined as the misunderstanding and interpretation of meaning which restrict effective communication. It can be in form of language, sign and symbol.

A language barrier is a used  to refer to linguistic barriers to communication, i.e. the difficulties in communication experienced by people or groups originally speaking different languages.

In simple words,People can technically be speaking the same language, but dialectical differences can create misunderstandings and gaps in communication. like your Hindi and other state Hindi speaker are different.

For example, "destination" and "last stop" technically mean the same thing, but students of semantics analyze their subtle shades of meaning.

For overcoming these barriers used plain language,find realistic translate Service,use visual method of communication etc.

Hope this helps!!!

Hope this helps you

Hello Disha,

English literature and linguistics are both interdisciplinary in nature.You already have a masters degree in Literature , hence I need not explain about its value. It is more of an artistic and philosophical area in English. Whereas , linguistics is a more  technical and scientific in approach . Since you are in this field you can very well understand the difference , so analyse it and decide based on your interests. As far as teaching options are concerned , with linguistics you may have better options in the area of language training than lectureship in universities or colleges. If there is a specific department dedicated for linguistic studies in any university then you may aim for that and accordingly complete you PhD in the same. So if you are very particular about a university lectureship position  , I would suggest PhD in English because it has more scope in academics,because English degrees are offered in all universities  . With linguistics , of course you can continue as a faculty in universities but it is more applicable in areas like language expert, training, foreign language teaching,speech pathology, therapy,you can be a lexicographer, editor or technical writer in good publishing firms etc. More than India it has better scope abroad. However , it all comes down to your interest, if you are very keen on specializing in linguistics , go ahead , teaching will always be an option in both ,so no worries.  Under linguistics further specializations are neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, historical linguistics, pragmatics and language acquisition etc.

All the best
