《哈罗德品特戏剧话语里沉默现象的语用文体学研究》为揭开这两个问题的谜底，首先将研究的矛头探入沉默的本质，证实沉默是人类话语交际中有机、动态、不可或缺的组成部分，并厘清沉默和言语、沉默和其它语言成份的关系。接下来，《哈罗德品特戏剧话语里沉默现象的语用文体学研究》依照品特本人的观点、将其戏剧中的沉默分成两大类别：静默和语境沉默b为了探究沉默在品特戏剧文本中所发挥的功能和作用，它被视为一种语用行为：在两个层面的交际中发挥着重要功能：一个是剧本内部的，剧中人物之间的微观语境的交际；一个是延伸到剧本外部、涵盖社会文化语境、从作者到受众的宏观语境的交流。

《哈罗德品特戏剧话语里沉默现象的语用文体学研究》介绍了哈罗德品特素有“沉默大师”的美誉。他声称自己的戏剧里“有两种形式的沉默。一种表现为没有言语，另一种则以‘滔滔不绝’的话语形式出现。”“‘滔滔不绝’的话语”缘何成为沉默？另外，沉默被认为是“品特式”风格的精华所在，它在品特戏剧中究竟担当何等重任、发挥何等功能呢？
