The only synonym of dialog that is anywhere near as general seems to be <discourse/>.

And I accidentally replied off list:

Discourse is too general.

In philosophy and theology a discourse can mean "teaching", as in "Levinas' discourse about 'the other' has made alterity a recurring theme in all modern philosophy" or "pentecostal theology is defined by its discourse about the charims".

I would not associate <discourse> with a spoken list-like dialog. That would be way too narrow.
