Document Summary

The study of interference has shown that linguistic borrowing, calquing, and other language mixing phenomena, have been significant factors in the change and generation of new forms of language. Verbal communication rarely results in the direct transmission of information from one speaker to the next without affecting the content and the intent in the information. With ic, a message can be interpreted correctly only if the sender and receiver possess the same kind of structural and conceptual knowledge built into the language used to transmit the message. Although the objective of global linguistics is to study the role of verbal programming involved in intercultural communication, nonverbal dimensions such as body language and visual communication, must also be taken into account.
