<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can any of you help with a definition of Bakhtin's
"ventriloqution" and where he first introduces the term and defines it? I have
two of his books as well as a bunch of Bakhtin papers and, although the word
pops up now and again, I cannot, for the life of me, find its original
appearance in his texts.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you very much,</FONT></DIV>
