Dialogical analysis is based on a theoretical framework (‘dialogism’) which assumes certain ‘dialogical’ principles to be characteristic of human sociocultural practices. It is primarily applied to spoken interaction, but also extended, partly by analogy, to monological speech, thought processes, texts and text interpretations, etc.
