👉 Dialog research involves the systematic study of conversations and interactions between individuals, often through recorded or live data collection, to understand communication patterns, social dynamics, and the factors influencing dialogue. Researchers may employ various methods, such as transcription, coding, and analysis, to explore topics like conversational turn-taking, topic maintenance, politeness strategies, and power relations. This research can be conducted in natural settings, like homes or workplaces, or in controlled environments, like laboratories, to gather insights into how people negotiate meaning, build relationships, and manage social interactions through dialogue.
