Dialogue Writing

বাংলায় আমরা যাকে সংলাপ বলি তারই ইংরাজি নাম Dialogue। দুই বা ততোধিক ব্যক্তির মধ্যে যে কথোপকথন হয়, তা লিখিতভাবে প্রকাশ করার নাম Dialogue Writing

Dialogue রচনা করবার সময় কাল্পনিক ব্যক্তিগণের যে ভাবটি বা বিষয়টি নিয়ে কথোপকথন হয়, সেটির উপরই আলোচনা নিবন্ধ থাকা উচিত, কথাবার্তায় আমরা সুদীর্ঘ sentence ব্যবহার করি না। ছোটো ছোটো sentence দিয়ে কথা বলি এবং অনেক সময় একটি মাত্র word দিয়েও মনের ভাব প্রকাশ করা হয়।

সাধারণত dialogue-এ কথায় চলতি ভাষা ব্যবহার করা হয়— সাধু ভাষার প্রয়োগ খুবই কম হয়। কথোপকথনের ভাষা যেন সহজ এবং শুদ্ধ হয়। যতদূর সম্ভব I’ll, they’re we’ve এইরূপ contraction ব্যবহার করা হয় ।

কাল্পনিক dialogue লিখবার সময় পৃষ্ঠার বাঁদিকে প্রত্যেক বক্তার নাম লিখে একটি colon (:)’ অথবা dash (—) চিহ্ন দেওয়া হয় এবং তার পরে উক্তিটি লেখা হয়। প্রত্যেক ব্যক্তির উক্তি নূতন ছত্রে লিখতে হয় ৷ নীচে অল্প কয়েকটি examples দেওয়া হল ।
