Physical barriers arise due to noises, faulty equipment,
closed doors, closed cabins while communication
process. Geographical distance between the sender and
receiver in the communication process creates a physical
barrier.
Communication is easy when the distance between them
is shorter as more channels are available. Modern
technology and appropriate communication channels can
help to avoid these barriers.
15. Environmental Barrier
Environmental barriers include certain environmental factors that
affect the effectiveness of communication. Only peoples are not
responsible for barriers to communication. Many environmental factors
like situation or physical setting where communication takes place
may lead to blocking of messages in the communication process.
It should ensure that an environment where communication is taking
place should be comfortable and secure. It should not distract the
communicators. Communicators should feel safe and be happy in the
environment while listening and giving their suggestion.

The psychological and emotional factors of persons affect the
communication process. It is essential that both sender and
receiver should be mentally fit and of sound mind while
communicating with each other.

are very difficult to manage and will affect the ease of
communication process. It is important that a person
communicating with each other should be emotionally mature.

Language is one of the main barriers to the communication barrier. It
is important that all persons involved in the communication process
should clearly understand the language used. Language barriers arise
when people are not able to understand the language used in
communication as different people have different linguistic skills.
Sometimes these barriers arise during encoding and decoding of the
message into words. Use of inappropriate words, different
interpretations and faulty translations during the encoding-decoding
process leads to miscommunication among persons.

People with different cultures and regions have different beliefs,
values, beliefs and perceptions as per their cultures. Different
cultures have different meaning for society basic values like
dressing, religion, drink, food and general behaviour.
Therefore, it is quite important to take these cultural indifferences
into account while communicating with each other. To overcome the
barriers to communication arising due to culture, empathy is
important. Empathy is simply sensing people’s feelings and attitude
to understand their cultural beliefs.
19. Semantic Barriers
The Semantic Barriers refers to the misunderstanding between
the sender and receiver arising due to the different meanings of
words, and other symbols used in the communication.
The semantic barriers usually arise when the information is not in
the simple language and contains those words or symbols that
have multiple meanings.
