What does DUOLOG mean in Scrabble?
noun
literary
A conversation or dramatic scene conducted between exactly two people.
A duolog is built around just two speaking parts, in contrast with a dialogue that can loosely mean any conversation among several people. The word appears mainly in writing about theatre and radio drama, where a scene written for two voices is sometimes labelled a duolog to stress that no third character interrupts. It is closely related to the longer form duologue, and the two words are used for the same idea. Because it is a rarer term, most readers meet duolog only in scripts, drama textbooks or reviews of two-hander plays.
How DUOLOG is used
Chiefly literary and theatrical, describing a scene or piece written for two speakers rather than everyday chatting.
- The playwright built the second act as a single tense duolog between the brothers.
- Their radio duolog ran for ten minutes with no other voices at all.
- Reviewers praised the duolog for letting both actors carry equal weight.
- Drama students were asked to write a short duolog for two characters.
- The script called the exchange a duolog rather than a full scene.
