DIALOGUE DISCOURSES IN VIETNAMESE NOVELS SINCE 1986

Abstract

 Dialogues belong to the background category in the thinking paradigm based on Bakhtin’s inter-subject philosophy. Novels have been chosen by Bakhtin as grounds for testifying to the dialogue relationship between consciousness and human beings – a category that lies beyond language, but is demonstrated by language and via language. Words with their two-way trend are the most typical manifestation for the polyphonic character and the dialogue properties of novels in Bakhtin’s view. The dialogue properties in Vietnamese novels since 1986 have shown many viewpoints, many different voices in their words aimed at the objects. The language of dialogues, dialogues in the internal monologues, reviews and criticisms among linguistic awarenesses are involved in the journey for creating dialogue discourses with significant innovations by Vietnamese novelists since 1986.
