حين يكون الصمت بلاغة

Abstract EN

Speech-Silence is a debatable dialectic duality: there is a controversy between the proponents of the divine gift of speech and those who prefer silence to speech for achieving both religious and political gains.

Still, there is a third compromising attitude, that impartially combines the two stances.

The current study aspires to answer the following questions:
1.

What is the importance of silence in human communication?
2.

Does attributable silence have specific denotation?
3.

Can silence be eloquence?
The present study can be divided into three chapters in addition to the introduction and the conclusions.

Chapter 1: The denotations of silence
Chapter2: Silence and debate
Chapter3: Silence and body language
