Abstract: Currently, it is impossible to carry out large interdisciplinary studies regardless of the nature of various scientific fields, or the different profiles of expert skills. Moreover, even highly developed communication tools cannot guarantee avoidance of communication failures and communicative errors. Factors that might cause communicative failures or errors can be both linguistic and extralinguistic in nature. The phenomenon of communicative errors and failures has been studied quite often in recent decades, however, there still exist confusions about the term choice for this phenomenon, for its common definition, and a list of factors that might be likely to cause communicative failures or errors. In the scientific literature, the description of communicative errors and failures, as well as their reasons is mainly speculative in nature, based on observing and marking certain features in the process of the language and speech interaction. The paper is focused on the development of a methodology for identifying the factors causing communicative errors based on an experimental study that will solve the following problems: (1) identification of types of communicative errors; (2) analysis of the factors causing communicative errors; (3) determination of the mechanism of communicative errors; (4) possibility to eliminate the factors causing communicative errors and increase the efficiency of communication.

Keywords: interdisciplinary studies; communication; communicative error; communicative failure; experimental studies in communication; oral and written speech; linguistic and extralinguistic factors.
