Abstract
The term disordered or impaired communication refers to that
specific type of communication, which deviates from the established
communication manners, set in a society. It is a special type of
communication disorder which is observed among different types
of cultural groups in educational institutions. This study aims to
highlight the communication disorder, that is not due to any
biological factor, but due to lingo-cultural diversity between the
students. It examines the influence of cultural norms on
communication behavior of students, which leads to
communication gap among them. To test the hypothesis survey in
three different universities of Lahore was conducted. A very careful
selection of the participants was made on the basis of information
about their backgrounds. Findings show that rural and urban
students fail to accept as well as respect this lingo-cultural
difference between them. Though a very strong tie between
language and culture exists, and students find difficulty in
communication, they can cover the communication gap after a
conscious and consistent efforts from both sides.
