"This is an important piece of research . . . It covers an area of increasing interest in folklore
studies, deals with the topic in broad perspective, covers all the bases, and is in the
forefront of modern folklore linguistic and anthropological thinking . . . will be quoted
liberally for a long time . . ."--Kenneth S. Goldstein.
This study focuses on the supernatural belief tradition of a French Newfoundland community.
Using a combination of descriptive and analytic techniques from the fields of folklore, linguistic
anthropology and discourse analysis, Butler explores the community's use of folklore in everyday
social interaction. He relates it to the human context which is ultimately responsible for its
creation and continued relevance.
