There are several uses and definitions, but generally when someone uses 'dialectic' they're either referring to an 'argumentative/conversational space' or an approach to logic emphasizing contradictions---usually through point and counterpoint. Ex. 1: "the current dialectic in the field of metaethics has focused on intuitionalism and error theory" and Ex. 2: "there exists position A. A has objection B, leading to either argument C or modified position D. The skeptical side respond with other points, etc."

It's generally used in reference to Plato, Hegel, and Marx, and their application of the term are far more specific and nuanced.

Has there been a philosophical inquiry into the nature and use of "dialectic process"

If you are interested in the Socratic method you should read Meno.

No philosophical term, especially one as endlessly reinterpreted as the dialectic, has a single meaning. Many philosophers LOVE to use a word to mean something different from what it commonly does, to take the brain of the reader out of its comfort zone.

Dialectic is the study of words and their meanings

So listen you got ideology #1 over here and ideology #2 over here and they don't care for the other very much so they're gonna beat the shit out of each other until one succumbs but the victor will be changed for the experience and can thus no longer be ideology #1/#2 but rather a new synthesis of the two in some ratio.

This is Hegelian dialectics. Marx differs a bit.
