The intention of this work is to analyse the semantic rule of silence in the dictatorship novel. The question is that silence is not just a mere absence of sound, but it is also a powerful communicative resource with its own semanticity and pragmatic norms of use. The analysis effected in this study confirm the hypothesis that silence in Latin American novel is a comunicative tool capable of acquiring a particular persuasive force in the context of the literary image of dictatorship.
