Abstract:

Silence in Second Language Acquisition examines the under-researched
and often troubling phenomenon of silence in second language learning
through a triangulation of SLA research, memoirs and language learner
diaries, and psychoanalytic concepts of anxiety, ambivalence, conflict
and loss. It moves beyond the view of silence as the mere absence of
speech, inviting the reader to consider it as both a psychical event
and a linguistic moment in the continuous process of identity
formation.
