This essay is a reaction to Roman Goettlicher's article Communication, Silence and Speech in Christianity (2003). It aims to show that Goettlicher does not provide just cause to deduce the insufficiency of natural language and the superiority of silence, as the article's concluding passages state. In addition, the article's indirect criticism of the Linguistic Turn and related appeal for a turn away from language is an unsuitable approach to the context of this philosophical scheme as well as to paragraph 7 of Wittgenstein's Tractatus. The author argues that a) in communication, silence cannot be conceived as a sign above natural language because the two are complementary - silence acquires meaning only in relation to verbal response, b) claiming the insufficiency of natural language is a question of religious disposition and is not supported by any linguistic arguments in Goettlicher's article, c) the Linguistic Turn has actually helped to reveal the role of natural language in our conception of the world, and natural language has become an essential basis for philosophical exploration, and d) Goettlicher's use of citations from Wittgenstein's Tractatus is not well-founded, because Wittgenstein addresses problems in describing the world using language, not the sufficiency of language for communication with God.

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.

The work of contemporary French writer Sylvie Germain is often compared to a „silent symphony“. Whispered from the depths of being, Germain´s novels resonate with the richness, grandeur and poeticism of the language. Underneath the fetching words, a gentle murmur of the unknown rises. But how to capture the „chant of the end of silence“, that the author refers to in her easy „Les Échos du silence?“ The confrontation with God´s extremely reticent presence becomes the focus of Germain´s fictional characters, as well as impulse for the literary work. This interpretative analysis of selected experts from novels by Sylvie Germain is an attempt to identify typical expressive means of the „ineffable“. The study wants to be not only an illustration of the patient research for the expression of transcendent experience, but also a sincere look a tone particular literary testimony.

Being and Time was a fundamental work by Martin Heidegger in which we can find a notion of the silence connected with an issue of the speech. The philosopher does not see the speech as a tool of articulation that is present in a common sensual meaning of this word. He accentuates that the speech rather owns us than we use it. Connected with the speech projecting understanding allows Dasein to open the possibilities by a decision. A call of conscience is very important to Dasein wanting to understand itself. It’s impossible to response to the call of conscience in a loudly jabber of das Man in which no one is guilty. Only when Dasein is determined by decision it opens itself to possibility of being guilty. That decision is a silent answer to the voice of conscience. In late works Heidegger wrote about a field path and has used a metaphor of the quiet which is not drowned by the jabber of das Man and in which it is happening the Seiende.
