Language Barrier a Problem for Scientific Research Study | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Challenges or barriers are social and cultural differences that exist between and among languages, nations and geographical entities. In most of the countries, a large number of social and cultural difference are observed. India is one unique example where such diversities are most evident. Translation is essentially an act of communication. It is the transferring a message from the source language into target language between two systems of sings or languages where the message of one system of sings is replaced with equivalent textual material of the other language by expressing its meaning and to an extent the style of language. In most cases too, we find a country having several socialcultural diversities. These differences impede, in one way or the other, effective translation because of varying conceptions of reality occasioned by languages The present article seeks to identify the nature of these differences and investigate some of the hindrances emanating due to social and cultures factors that occur in the course of translation. A discussion on these barriers will bring together the scholars of translation studies to brainstorm and suggest ways to address them. Bringing these barriers into the foray of discussion will also serve as a way of avoiding them.
