Abstract
Recurrent problems surface in the interpreter’s performance of the dialogue portions of fiction, where the solo reader is attempting to suggest interaction of characters, interplay of nonverbal responses, and distinctions of personalities. A resource for improving the performer's dialogue creation is available in a system of analysis which is based upon recent research by sociolinguists into nonfictional, ordinary conversation.
