Diaglogue, conversation

0 Thank you Mr. Mi. My question is the difference between the two words. For example, in a textbook, what two people say is a dialogue or a conversation? Thank you. 0-

0 I have seen an English textbook "New Interchange", in which dialogues are entitled "conversation". For example, "Conversation Ordering a meal" Is this because the nature of the dialogue is a conversation? Thank you. 0-

0No, it is because Jack Richards or Cambridge University Press thinks that it sounds more like 'real English in real use' if the word 'conversation' is used. Conversations are dialogues and dialogues are conversations; 'dialogue' is a somewhat more linguistic term. 0-
