Forms and Functions of Communicative Silence in Jordan
Öz
In
this paper it is aimed to shed light on the significance of silence as an
effective tool in communication that is no less powerful than speech or
writing. The attempt was also made to show how language sometimes fails as a
means of communication in conveying the message. Silence, therefore, could be
regarded as an important and complementary alternative for language.
