Abstract

Although silence can be taken to mean a total absence of sound, the word is frequently used with reference to a socio-cultural environment. This article focuses on silence as the absence of talk. The richness and multiplicity of silences stems from the fact that a particular silence may consist of an absence in relation to a particular subject of conversation. Thus, for each type of talk, there exists a type of silence. Silences are made particularly meaningful through what we here call « weakly constituent machanisms » or, in other words, what by convention constitutes a relevant silence. Conversation analysis enables us to highlight some aspects of the role and significance of silence in conversation. Finally, we introduce the concept of « implicit silence ». Implicit silence originates with a flow of talk in which something is considered important but is left unsaid. We show how certain types of sociological analysis pinpoint implicit silences.
