Abstract
The term epilogue derives from the Greek epilogos, the concluding or perorating part (Gr. epi-, in addition) of speech (Gr. logos). In more recent times, the term also denotes the concluding part of a literary work, a summary. An interesting form of an epilogue consists in the metalogue, a conversation that takes previous conversations or text to take it to another level (Bateson, 1980). Metalogue literally is talk about talk, meta-talk.
