One factor that leads to this deficit is miscommunication with others.
Miscommunication between the two types of researchers has brought about disagreement on nearly every aspect of the research process.
It can therefore be regarded as an instance of miscommunication.
There also appear to be a few instances of miscommunication which could be attributed to dialectal differences at the phonological, morpho-syntactic, or lexico-semantic level.
This is no small matter; to date, analyses of cross-cultural miscommunication have been almost exclusively qualitative.
Yet it's at this first level that miscommunication is given its brief.
In the opinion of my two touring managers, the promoters have in this exercise underplayed the amount of miscommunication that goes on.
So it will not in any way detract from my analysis to consider miscommunication a form or variant of communication.
