Dialogue extends beyond speech to include self, text, and history as interlocutors.

Evidence

Like Freire, Bakhtin (1986) argues that dialogue is more than just talk, extending its definition to include a variety of nonverbal iterations. Certainly, this definition includes individuals in dialogue with other individuals, but also individuals in dialogue with a text, with themselves, even with history, etc. — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 413
