This paper applies the methods of text linguistics to analyse the linguistic, cognitive, and affective features of dialogue as an intertextual text type. According to current research, intertextuality is not only a basic component of post-modern literature but also an organising principle in dramatic conversations. This disquisition takes the most important elements of intertextuality into consideration and illustrates them by dialogues from contemporary Hungarian drama. The most frequent of those elements are (1) figures based on detraction: contextual or situational ellipsis and aposiopesis; (2) topic change or topic shift; and (3) direct vs. indirect speech and narrative. These factors, together with explicit and implicit references, create the intertextual cohesion of dialogue as conversation between different texts or text types

This paper analyses the social differences between male and female discourse strategies in everyday discourse. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate the gender differences in conversational interaction by the methods of DA (of a material from live language usage) and sociolinguistical discourse-complementary survey. This comparative analysis searches the answers to the following questions: (1) what kind of prestart, opening, discourse-organizer, recompleter and closing strategies are popular in male-female communication, (2) which kind of turn-takings are usually used by men and women, (3) how do they use different (locutionary and illocutionary) speech-acts, face-protector strategies and conversation and politeness principles (CP and PP) in their verbal behavior, and (4) how do the informants represent of male and female communicative features as gender-markers (for example 'chattering' and 'taciturn' vs. 'a man of few words') in their mental lexicon. Summing up: this study aims at replying to the current question of daily gender-discourse: can we talk about sex-typed language or 'womanspeak' and 'manspeak', is the male-female conversation cross-cultural communication, consequently can we talk about 'genderlects'?
