The Gothic has always been interested in strange utterances and unsettling voices – from half-heard ghostly murmurings and the admonitions of the dead, to the terrible cries of the monstrous nonhuman. Gothic Utterance is the first book-length study of the role played by such voices in the Gothic tradition, exploring their prominence and importance in the American literature produced between the Revolutionary War and the close of the nineteenth century. The book argues that the American Gothic foregrounds the overpowering affect and distressing significations of the voices of the dead, dying, abjected, marginalised or nonhuman, in order to undertake a sustained interrogation of what it means to be and speak as an American in this period. The American Gothic imagines new forms of relation between speaking subjects, positing more inclusive and expansive kinds of community, while also emphasising the ethical demands attending our encounters with Gothic voices. The Gothic suggests that how we choose to hear and respond to these voices says much about our relationship with the world around us, its inhabitants – dead or otherwise – and the limits of our own subjectivity and empathy.

The Gate of Words is a remarkable piece of work in several regards. On the one hand, Antonetta Bruno has shown a great capacity in her fieldwork to communicate with the shamans and their clients. On the other hand she makes good use of ethnolinguistic theories, demonstrating that 'to say something is to do something', and providing evidence that there is continuity between informal conversations, devinations, oracles and chants. The original contribution Bruno makes is that she shows that Korean shamanism mainly relies on the art of speaking, on dialogue.' Alexandre Guillemoz, école des Haute études en Sciences Sociales ' Antonetta Bruno's theoretical and methodological point of view is derived from comtemporary linguistic anthroplogy and folkloristics. She likes to see the Korean shamanic ritual, kut, as a communicative event, and thus tries to understand the whole process of kut through an analysis of language behavior and social interaction. This is a very significant and really new approach to the Korean shamanic ritual compared to previous researches of the same topic.'

In this volume, the author reviews the results of research on language performance and proposes a model of production and comprehension. Although recent developments in linguistics are taken into account, consideration of other requirements of a performance model leads to the conclusion that the grammar the speaker has in mind differs from the grammar as currently conceived of by most linguists. The author is also critical of recent computer simulations of language performance on the basis that they fall short of describing what goes on in human production and comprehension. The author therefore proposes that the basic issues must be rethought and new theoretical foundations reformulated, in order to arrive at a viable theory of language functioning. In developing the framework of the model presented in this book, requirements of flexibility in the performance mechanisms, the probabilistic nature of comprehension processes, and the interleaving of linguistic rules with context and knowledge of the world are emphasized.
