MONOLOGISE Meaning and Definition

  1. "Monologise" is a verb that refers to the act of delivering a monologue or engaging in a prolonged self-centered talk or speech. It involves expressing one's thoughts, ideas, or feelings in a spoken form without any significant interaction or participation from others. The term derives from the combination of the word "monologue," which refers to a long solo speech or theatrical performance by a single individual, and the suffix "-ise," which indicates the action or process of doing something.

    When someone monologises, they tend to dominate a conversation or discussion by monopolizing the speaking time, often without considering or acknowledging the perspectives, opinions, or contributions of others. This tendency can stem from various motivations, such as a desire to assert dominance, maintain control, present oneself as knowledgeable or authoritative, or simply to express one's own thoughts and feelings at length.

    While monologising can occur in various contexts, it is commonly associated with theatrical performances, storytelling, public speaking, or instances where an individual feels compelled to extensively articulate their own ideas or experiences without inviting active engagement or dialogue from others. The act of monologising can be effective in certain situations, such as when conveying detailed information or presenting a persuasive argument. However, it can also hinder effective communication, as it neglects the importance of active listening and consideration of other participants' perspectives.
