Which of the following is a semantic barrier?

Concept

Communication barriers can be classified by the part of the communication process they disrupt.

Physical or technical barriers degrade transmission or legibility, whereas semantic barriers arise from words, symbols, or wording that obstruct the intended meaning.

Application

Redundancy adds repeated or unnecessary wording. It therefore interferes with interpretation at the level of meaning.

Contrast

• A blurred television image is visual-signal or display distortion, so it belongs to the physical or technical channel.

• Unclear newspaper printing is a production or legibility defect, so it belongs to the physical or technical channel.

• Static in broadcasting is transmission noise, so it belongs to the physical or technical channel.

Result

Therefore, redundancy in writing is the semantic barrier.
