Question

''LANGUAGE MAY BE A SOURCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING' BY MARSHALL MCLUHAN

DOES THE RECEIVER'S / AUDIENCE'S PERSONAL BACKGROUND OR EXPERIENCE AFFECT THE INTERPRETATION OF THE MESSAGE?

Answer 1

Explanation:

LANGUAGE IS A SOURCE OF MISUNDERSTANDING” – McLuhan, 1964

Sometimes what we mean does not always have the same meaning for others. People think differently and it can’t be helped if one thing has different meaning for others. As a country with different dialects, multiple languages can be hard to use.

Does the user’s/audience’s own bac kground or experience affect the interpretation of messages? How?

Our schema greatly affects what we think or how we interpret a message. A young person and old person may have different understanding of a thing because of the gap in time.
