post #539888 post #1367432 post #672692

Dialogue is a form of verbal communication presented through text consisting of words perceived to be spoken aloud. Such words are generally, but not always, found in speech bubbles.

What counts as dialogue?

  • Content perceived to be spoken out loud. It does not have to be a conversation, nor does it need to be targeted at anyone.
  • Content that is recorded, or transmitted (broadcasts, phone calls, etc). Try to make sure that the text is perceived to be audible, instead of a text message.
  • Content that is from offscreen, or unseen sources.
What content is applicable?
  • Most words
  • Profanity (any context)
  • Proper nouns (names of characters, locations, species etc.)
  • Abbreviations ("BTW", "WTH", "BRB"), and simplified speech (shortened words)
  • Muffled, or garbled speech that appears inspired by actual words.
Communication vs Conversation vs Dialogue

The intent of communication is to share ideas through a language medium. A conversation is the sharing of ideas between two, or more subjects. Dialogue that is perceived as communicating an idea can be thought of as conversational dialogue.

Not all forms of communication are considered dialogue by our tagging definition.

What should not be treated as dialogue?

Communication through one's thoughts is not considered dialogue, and should be tagged as inner monologue instead.
