Revisiting the Silence Attached to the Earlier Violence of Assaults and the Co-construction of New Meanings

Language becomes 'one's own' only when the speaker populates it with her own intention, her own accent, when she appropriates the world, adopting it to her own semantic and expressive intention. Prior to this moment of appropriation, the word does not exist in a neutral and impersonal language ... but rather exists in other people's mouths, in other people's contexts, serving other people's intentions. (Mikhail Bakhtin as cited in Narayan, 1972, p. 2).
