Abstract

The concepts of meaning, understanding and or misunderstanding have been of significance in philosophy, linguistics, communication studies, and sociology. This is due to the crucial status of communication among humans as the distortion of meaning and misunderstanding can bring about social imbalance. This article explores the complex nature of human communication, delving into the linguistic, sociocultural, and epistemological barriers that impede meaningful understanding. Through an exploration of the close-knit relationships between language, context, and meaning, it aims to expose the nuanced dynamics of communication and the nature of meaning, contributing to a better understanding of the challenges and possibilities of human communication.
