<u>Semantic misunderstanding</u> occurs when people assign different meanings to the same words.

The word semantic is associated with how language is used and how different meanings are attributed to particular words.

It is also referred to as a semantic barrier as it affects a smooth and effective conversation.

Differences in dialects, cultural differences, choice of words, pronunciation, spelling mistakes, and body language are some of the factors that cause semantic misunderstanding.

It frequently occurs among non-native speakers. When they come to a different country and try to speak their language, they often cause semantic misunderstandings due to limited vocabulary and choice of words.

Where does the water in rivers come from ? What causes rivers to flow? ( Site 1)
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:Most water you see flowing in rivers comes from precipitation runoff from the land surface alongside the river. Of course, not all runoff ends up in rivers. Some of it evaporates on the journey downslope, can be diverted and used by people for their uses, and can even be lapped up by  animals.
