  abstract  = {The article critically discusses the use of literary dialogue for the linguistic analysis of interaction. The linguistic characteristics of literary dialogue itself as well as the specific communication situation in which literary dialogue is positioned as an interactionally designed text of an author created for an overhearing audience should be taken into consideration when approaching fictional dialogue as linguistic and interactional data. It is argued that these features of literary respectively fictional dialogue should influence and restrict the kind of questions and linguistic approaches to such data. When formulating a research question the artificial character of literary dialogue should be considered because speech and interaction in drama is the creation of an author. Speech and interaction styles in drama, for example, are primarily an important resource for authors to characterize their characters, what is illustrated by a sample analysis of some features within the communicative behaviour of three characters from Gabriela Zapolska's drama Moralnosc pani Dulskiej.},
