Dialogism

The principle that meaning emerges through dialogue and interaction between different voices or perspectives rather than from a single authoritative source. It emphasizes the relational and contextual nature of all communication.

From Greek 'dialogos' (conversation) and suffix '-ism.' Developed by Mikhail Bakhtin as a fundamental principle of language and literature, arguing that all utterances are responses to previous utterances and anticipate future responses in an ongoing dialogue.
