Dialogic citation as an aspect of other people’s speech

The concept of dialogic citation relates to the case when the second response uses a response of the interlocutor, wholly or in part. Taking over the interlocutor?s response wholly or partly serves for expressing an attitude by using the one expressed in the adopted response. This phenomenon is, thus, typical of a dialogue as a communicative unit and represents a special form of citing other people?s speech. This paper presents, based on a corpus of literary and conversational style, some features of dialogic citation in the Serbian language.
