The challenges faced by international institutions when employees communicate in different languages

Abstract

This article explores the challenges faced by international institutions when employees communicate in different languages. It highlights the complexities of language as both an abstract system and a practical tool of interaction. Drawing on linguistic theory and philosophical debates, the study examines how multilingual workplaces experience barriers to effective communication, leading to misunderstandings, inefficiencies, and cultural misalignments. The article further situates language within broader discussions of its origin, nature, and role in human interaction, emphasizing the importance of addressing linguistic diversity in global organizations
