To deepen our understanding of reading theatre, it is necessary to closely examine the manifestation of speech. This book examines the role of dialogue and monologue in theatrical texts from the perspective of some of the most recent theories in enunciation and pragmatics within the context of exchange. It also focuses on interrelationships at the cognitive persuasive levels with characters that ground their subjectivity in dialogical interaction as they appropriate all the resources of language.
