Effective communication, Language and Linguistic.

Human relationships are based on communication. Effective communication


skills are therefore integral to both professional and personal success. Talking
about effective communication, it is better to start with linguistic as a science of
language, and language itself as the most common tool of communication. Today,
according to the world’s largest catalog of languages, Ethnologue, as of 2020, there
are 7 174 languages on Earth. The 40 most common languages are spoken by
about 2/3 of the world’s population. Most people speak Chinese, Hindi, English,
Spanish, Arabic, Russian and Portuguese. Language plays a vital role in helping
people build a bridge of relationships. At the same time, language acts as a
destroyer of bridges of human relations because it separates people from each
other. Language continues to remain a barrier to convey our messages to people in
the globalization and communication era. Language barriers are a common
challenge in international business, aviation and social settings. They affect our
daily life. Language barriers are the root causes of many problems or obstacles in
health care, aviation, business, and education. For example, (a)Effective
communication between healthcare providers, patients, and families is critical for
providing safe and quality healthcare. The results of a Canadian study about the
negative impact of language barriers on quality of care and patient safety: Patients
and interpreters described experiences where language barriers contributed to more
inferior patient assessment, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, incomplete
understanding of patient condition, risks of medication errors and complications
and prescribed treatment. Another example, Aviation researchers emphasize that
over 60% of aircraft incidents are caused by human error. The failure of crews to
communicate effectively is one common type of error. According to the Aviation
Safety Reporting System (ASAS) of NASA (National Aeronautics and Space
Administration), over70% of the first 28,000 reports received were found to be
related communication issues. Therefore, ineffective communication is a global
threat to aviation safety too. One more example, increased globalization is forcing
a growing number of business managers and employees to interact across linguistic
boundaries. A German study titled "language Barriers in Different Forms of
International Assignments" has connected language barriers to a series of
organizational behavior phenomena. The results showed that language barriers
have effects on the multinational corporation as follows: effects on employees'
emotions, social identity formation, trust formation, power relations. The findings
of a study about the impact of language barriers on the customers of English as a
Second Language, suggests that language barriers generate negative emotional and
cognitive responses and prevent the customers from taking specific actions such as
seeking necessary information or complaining about a service failure.
In today's globalized world it is difficult to achieve effective communication.
Individual differences in temperament and personality, gender and culture, and
situational variables can all impact the quality of communications but all
communication skills can be learned and practiced. Most barriers to competent
communications can be overcome with self-awareness and respect for diversity.
