I had a similar problem with my Masters dissertation and the word "interpellated": no one knew what it meant, and oddly enough, my spell chekker didn't query it except when I spelt it wrong due to sloppy typing (as this post will probably demonstrate!!) Most people were able to dissern what the word meant by the context of its use (likewise in my own experience with "diegetic"). For the record, I use interpellate to mean what the audience receives as text which is not necessarily what the text-manufacturer intented (rhetorical discourse). All of this is working from ideas from Eagleton's *Ideology - an introduction*. Mikel ---- To signoff SCREEN-L, e-mail [log in to unmask] and put SIGNOFF SCREEN-L in the message. Problems?
