“…13. The most salient function in Baker's (1955) model seems to be Jakobson's emotive function, yet the model seems fit for explaining the role played by silence serving other functions such as the phatic function and the referential function. As Freud has taught the world, no person and no deed are free of the unconscious.…”

“…Hace unas décadas Baker denominó esta idea como "identificación recíproca" y señaló que al hablar con el otro sobre este terreno en común que se comparte desde un comienzo, las personas alcanzan un entendimiento mutuo y consciente de él. De hecho, Baker llegó incluso a sostener que la razón por la que comunicamos es de tal fuerza que podemos estar juntos confortablemente incluso en silencio 17 . El modelo de Baker otorga un excelente remedio para aquellos momentos durante una entrevista en los que puede sentir que entre usted y su paciente hay incomodidad, tensión o amenaza: en este caso simplemente debería (re)-establecer algún tipo de entendimiento mutuo a partir de la base común existente.…”

Effective Communication Skills form part of what is being a good doctor. There is a solid evidence base that defines the components of effective communication. This article offers a practical conceptual framework to improve physician-patient comFax: 518 6760 e-mail: moore@med.puc.cl E l éxito de cualquier entrevista clínica depende de la calidad de la comunicación médico-paciente. Las habilidades comunicacionales efectivas son parte del quehacer de un buen médico y por lo tanto, la comunicación es considerada una de las competencias básicas en la formación médica. Por esta razón se han incluido cursos formales de comunicación médica en los currículos de las escuelas de medicina de la mayoría de las universidades 1,2 .Con el uso de habilidades de comunicación efectiva, se busca aumentar la precisión diagnósti-ca, la eficiencia en términos de adherencia al tratamiento, y construir un apoyo para el paciente. Una comunicación efectiva promueve la colaboración entre el médico y el paciente, donde el foco de la entrevista no está centrado en el médico ni en el paciente, sino en la relación de ambos.Parte importante del aprendizaje de cualquier competencia es la definición clara que desglosa sus componentes: conocimientos, habilidades y actitudes. Hoy existe una base sólida de evidencia que aporta al conocimiento de cuáles son los componentes de una comunicación efectiva en medicina. El presente artículo resume esta evidencia y describe las habilidades comunicacionales básicas que permiten crear una efectiva comunicación médico paciente.

“…The study of meaningful and structured silence (as opposed to meaningless or unintentional silence) in literature shows that this marked silence is present in any text by means of a range of discursive indicators, such as omission of a part of text or replacing a word with another sign. According to Baker (1955), interpersonal silence has two basic forms in a continuum, one is "when speech breaks down" and the other is "when the words become irrelevant" (Baker, 1955: 157). Therefore, silence is not only the complete refusal to speak, but also acts of silence within discourse that are considered meaningful (Ibid: 165).…”

According to Hemingway, if a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may be silent about seven-eighth of the text (1996: 192). This silence as a notable absence leaves a meaningful trace, which is a marker of written silence. Such silence has an interactive role, employed as a discursive technique in literature to produce a fictional world. Based on this theory, the reader seeks to fill the empty places in the fictional text to understand the story completely. An appropriate device for filling the blanks would be possible through understanding the different six types of silence and its functions. To be exact, the narrative silence is represented in structural, semantic and pragmatic types discussed respectively in three syntagmatic, paradigmatic, and interactive axes. This paper examines these variations of narrative silence in five Persian short stories 1 to analyze the structure of narrative and the creation of the elements of a story by means of silence. The purpose of studying silence is to establish how the narrative structure is based on untold or omitted parts in subtly differing ways, so each kind of silence has its special function in these five stories. Generally, the theory of silence not only proposes a universal pattern for studying fiction, but also suggests a comprehensive analytic tool to study the structuring of narrative that will then allow scholars to differentiate the different silences that constitute styles of fiction writing.
