Abstract:

This book constitutes a significant contribution to political discourse
analysis
and to the study of silence, both from the point of view of discourse analysis
as
well as pragmatics, and it is also relevant for those interested in politics
and
media studies. It promotes the empirical study of silence by analysing 
metadiscourse about politicians’ silence and by systematically conceptualising
the communicativeness of silence in the interplay between intention (to be 
silent), expectation (of speech) and relevance (of the unsaid). Three cases of
sustained metadiscourse about silent politicians from Germany are analysed to
exemplify this approach, based on media texts and protocols of parliamentary 
inquiries. Ideals of political transparency and communicative openness are 
identified as a basis for (disappointed) expectations of speech which trigger
and
determine metadiscourse about politicians’ silences. Finally, the book deals 
critically with the role of those who act as advocates of ‘the public’s’
demand to
speak out.
