Abstract

As a form of art, theatre strives for perfection when it comes to expression. For this reason, dialogue must also be perfect, as one of the main methods of expression in a theatre. When the actor is performing the given dialogue, pause in addition to intonation are the main ways of conveying the intended meaning and the feeling. Unlike in daily life, actors must be able to recognize even the smallest rules of language. However, rules regarding pause are much simpler in being simply 'existent or non-existent', compared to that of intonation. But in reality, pause can be classified into various different types. There is a type of pause which includes cut off of articulation along with complete breath being possible, however there is also a type of pause that does not include any breath or stops at an incomplete state then goes on to the next syllable. In addition, there are cases in which the separation of syllables are clear allowing for the law of final sound of a word and the law of the initial sound of a word to work properly, however there are also cases in which only cut off in only the time exists as retro-assimilation and prolonged sound phenomenon are maintained. And there are cases in which the cut off in time is virtually undetectable but the existence of minute pause is revealed from the change in intonation. Regarding such problems, some of the acting conversational skill books have expressed it as "half-breath". However, as breath and pause are not required to be in accordance with one another, they must be thought of separately. In particular, a clear way of differentiating the pause is necessary to actors, who must perform their language in an objective manner.
