Perspectives on Silence Paperback / softback
by Muriel Saville-Troike, Deborah Tannen
Paperback / softback
Description
This book focuses attention on a relatively neglected component of communication-silence-in order to present current research from a number of disciplines and also to stimulate further research on the subject.
Silence is often viewed as an out-of-awareness phenomenon against which talk is perceived.
By reversing polarities and treating silence as a figure to be examined against talk, we are given a heightened awareness of the universal aspects of human behavior while emphasizing its complex nature as a cultural phenomenon.
