Abstract
This paper investigates the role of language in interaction design and computer-mediated communication. It starts by distinguishing between human languages and computer languages. Human language, as the primary code used in text and voice-based communication, is critical in the majority of communication processes. We also analyze two methods of computer-mediated communication. First, interaction design based on semiotic engineering is investigated; followed by user-to-user computer-mediated communication. This paper provides insights into the design of user interfaces, cross-cultural communication, and social media by discussing the complexities of language in human-computer interaction and computer-mediated communication. The findings highlight the significance of language as the main component of effective communication involving humans and computers in various contexts.
