Аннотация

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study are to find the information and simplification dialogue usage and content in unabridged and abridged dialogues of Shakespeareʼs Drama. This article used the script of drama to analyze the function of each dialogue. The result of the research could show that there were simplification of dialogue, structure and content. Also Shakespeare's plays present us with a “universe of dialogues”, and the immense variety of dramatic dialogues in his works is indeed astonishing. The 'dialogic skepticism' achieving pre-eminence in the Renaissance is unquestionably related to the developing focus on the individual which is also highly characteristic of the age.
