演講摘要：
在塞內加爾和其他西非占卜系統中，負責闡述占卜意義的說話者的不是占卜師，而是占卜系統本身。貝殼占卜也是如此。貝殼或其他參與神諭的代理行動者是占卜中最難解的事情之一。考察曼丁戈語（Mandinka）中用來指稱這一事實的術語，本次演講將在整個占卜過程中探討主位視角的意義。透過將曼丁戈人占卜與其他占卜傳統進行比較，本演講強調占卜的說話者和權威是占卜儀式和語言屬性的重要特徵。
Abstract:
In Senegalese and other West African divination systems it is not the diviner but the divinatory system itself that is seen as the author of the divinatory enunciation. This is also true for cowrie divination. The authoring role of the shells or other oracular agencies is one of the most puzzling facts of divination. Tracing the terminology used in Mandinka to refer to this fact, this talk explores the significance of this emic perspective within the larger divinatory process. Comparing Mandinka divination with other divinatory traditions, the article highlights divinatory authorship and authority as an important characteristic of divination's ritual and linguistic properties.
