peer agreement (net): +1discourse, monologue, storytelling Explanation: Linguistically, "discourse" is a chunk of sentenses. In the area of "discourse analysis", researchers focus on the behavior of language at the intra-sentential level. This term is translated as "談話" in Japanese. For your specific example, "monologue" can also be used. This term is compared with "dialogue", in which the activities are done between interlocutors. "monologue" is often translated as "独話", and "dialogue" is "対話". Recently, a term like "storytelling" has been used in linguistics, in particular, in sociolinguistics. This term is often translated as "語り". For these three terms, "discourse" is the most general terms to represent your question. The link below may be a good resource for non-linguists who want to know the terminology of linguistics and other areas of language processing.
