>Dialogue is usually identified by use of quotation marks and a dialogue tag, such as "she said".

No, that's such an unnatural way of reading.

I read "the postman always rings twice" recently and James M. Cain just puts all the dialogue in quotes and lets you figure out who's talking.
No "he/she adverbed". It's great. Wish that was the standard.
