consistently to its clients in different countries. Rockefeller Group has launched a new continental
advertising campaign in South Africa, Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion and Seychelles. In most of
these countries, French is the official language. Incidentally, all the advertisements were created in
English and have been loosely translated into French for the francophone countries. What kind of
communication barriers will be experienced by clients and customers in the French-speaking
countries?
a. psychological and semantic barriers
b. semantic and contextual barriers
c. status and position
d. cultural and perceptual differences
