Introduction
Communication barriers are
something that prevents us from
correctly getting and accepting the
messages others use to
communicate their information,
thoughts and ideas.

Fourth Barrier of
Communication
Lack of Shared
Presupposition
Mispronunciation
The act of pronouncing a word or sound
wrongly. Among Filipinos, there are
sounds in English which are considered
critical. Thus, they are hard to pronounce
which eventually results in
mispronunciation. (ex. mop and map)
Meaning attached to words
There are words which give denotative and connotative meanings.
DENOTATION: The direct definition of the word that you find in the
dictionary.
CONNOTATION: The emotional suggestions of a word that is not
literal.
Ex. Home
Denotes : house, apartment or other shelter
Connotes: the place in which one’s domestic affections are centered.
The loose and haphazard organization
of ideas in extended talk
When ideas presented are loosely
incoherent, listeners will not be able to
connect and understand the message.
This will eventually result in losing the
attention of the audience.
Sudden shifts in topic
Changing topics during extended talks
can hamper communication. It is always
encouraged to use transitional devices
to allow the audience to follow and
process a presentation or speech more
effectively.
The lack of shared presupposition
Both parties need to have
background knowledge of the
topic at hand. When the other does
not have it, miscommunication will
surely creep in.

Another Barriers of
Effective Communication
Interlocutors:
- The source and the recipient of the message. This is mainly
psychological in nature.
- One takes more kindly the feedback given by persons he or she likes
and admires.On the other hand one negatively reacts and resists
accepting a message given by a person he or she dislikes.
- One’s reactions to a message are conditioned to some extent by the
opinion of and feelings for the sender of the message. Moreover,
emotions influence much on the way a message is worded during
interaction.
Another Barriers of
Effective Communication
Delivery of the message
- The volume of one’s voice and the rate of
speaking, pacing, could have an effect on
the intelligibility and clarity of the message.
Another Barriers of
Effective Communication
Situation or Setting
- Physical noise is likely to distort the message or
render it incomprehensibly. The size of the
room and the size of the audience are other
situation-related factors that could impede
effective communication.
