Language Barrier Effects is a theoretical construct in intercultural communication research that identifies the cognitive, social, and pragmatic disruptions arising from linguistic disparities between interlocutors, thereby distinguishing it from broader sociocultural factors by focusing specifically on how differences in language proficiency, structure, and usage impede mutual understanding in cross-cultural interactions.
