Curses are a form of word magic. We present a typology of curses and then focus on one type-whoever curses intended to intimidate anyone violating the speaker or writer's wishes. Following a speech act analysis of whoever curses, we analyze a corpus of such curses in Anglo-Saxon legal documents. We discuss the structure and functions of curses and linguistic stylization. Curses are both a type of oral residue and evidence of growing awareness of the performative potential of writing
