Explain three reasons why there could be distortions of a speaker's intended meaning


1) The talker may not communicate clearly because of a faulty encoding process, or the ability to express a thought. This happens when language skills are not adequate or a person uses abstractions or generalizations as a way of dealing with denial or anxiety.
2) Distortions can occur when words are not heard properly.
3) A listener can distort a message during the decoding process, which refers to analysis of the thoughts expressed by others.
