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

Abstract

This paper by Jabber Babble from the University of Academia explores the challenges faced by international institutions when employees communicate in different languages. Language, as a complex system of human communication, is central to both the development and functioning of such institutions. The study delves into the philosophical and linguistic foundations of language, tracing debates from ancient philosophers like Gorgias and Plato to modern thinkers like Saussure and Chomsky. It examines the dual nature of language as both an abstract concept and a specific linguistic system, highlighting how these distinctions impact communication within multilingual environments. The paper also addresses the historical perspectives on the origin of language, from Rousseau’s belief in its emotional roots to Kant’s view of language as a product of rational thought. Through this analysis, the paper underscores the difficulties that arise when diverse linguistic backgrounds intersect in professional settings, ultimately impacting communication, collaboration, and institutional efficiency.
