Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of barriers in communication (in English) of cadets of higher educational establishment of marine profile. The author notes that a single classification of barriers does not exist as such, because every scientist, when studying a particular problem, notes that there is the presence of barriers in it. Depending on the situation, scientists identify specific barriers that are common to them as being an obstacle to a particular activity or actions. The author of the article identifies barriers that arise in communication (including listening) such as: phonetic, semantic, stylistic, socio-cultural. One of the main causes of the phonetic barrier is the incorrect use of sounds (phonemes) in the speech activity, which can lead to misunderstanding and even misinterpretation of information on both sides as well. The semantic barrier is due to the fact that the participants of the communication use different meanings of words and the situation of their use. The stylistic barrier of understanding arises when the speaker's language style, the communication situation, the language style, the state of the listening person are inappropriate. The socio-cultural barrier of communication is related to differences of social, religious and other nature. The author offers practical recommendations concerning ways of overcoming barriers of foreign language communication for future marine specialists. Overcoming the phonetic barrier requires constant listening – watching films, listening to audio books. To overcome the semantic and stylistic barrier, one should study situational variants of the use of words, especially ambiguous ones, and it is also worth familiarizing with the peculiarities of the use of words in different styles of speech. Overcoming the socio-cultural barrier can occur only if there is knowledge of not only the language but also the cultural peculiarities of the nation, customs and norms in verbal and non-verbal communication. Keywords: communication, barrier overcoming, future marine specialist
