Silence in Second Language Learning: A Psychoanalytic Reading: 6 (Second Language Acquisition)

"Silence in Second Language Learning: A Psychoanalytic Reading (Second Language Acquisition (Buffalo, N.Y.), 6.)" by Colette A. Granger. This text 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.
