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

Abstract

This article explores the complexities and obstacles international institutions encounter due to multilingual communication among employees. It examines language as a system of communication and delves into its philosophical and linguistic underpinnings, referencing thinkers from Gorgias and Plato to Rousseau and Kant. The paper discusses the nature of language as both an abstract concept and a specific linguistic system, setting the stage for an analysis of the practical challenges posed by this duality in a globalized workplace.
