In the mind of people, there is a speech mechanism in accordance with the ability of the respective language they use. In this regard dialogue has a special model of consciousness belonging to this mechanism and is one of the main factors in the organization of the rhetorical structure of text. This paper analyzes the role of dialogues in the rhetorical structure of literary texts in English, Azerbaijani, Russian and French languages. Although dialogue is a universal phenomenon from the linguistic point of view, it has certain characteristic features depending on the intellectual level of the author, his/her way of thinking, language and style. Dialogues play the role of connectors in the rhetorical structure as a unit of a macro-text, i.e. dialogue is a part of the hierarchical system belonging to a micro-text and is a part of the global system within a macro-text. In this connection, dialogues have two features: 1) Developing meaning of the previous micro-text based on the particular plot; 2) Providing a semantic basis for the continuation of the story of the subsequent micro-text. These features determine the autonomous status of dialogues in the rhetorical structure of literary texts and demonstrates the level of global connexity in the hierarchical system of literary texts. For this, dialogue has a special place both in the system of internal and external connexity within the rhetorical structure of text, and its study has a marked relevance.
