The essay seeks to demonstrate that the Utopian impulse has something to do with the structure of human language. It starts by considering the theme of language in three utopias, Bulwer Lytton’s The Coming Race, Hogben’s Interglossa, and Thomas More’s Utopia. From there, it proceeds to analyse the grammar of utopia, with special reference to Paolo Virno’s theory of negation and to the Althusserian concept of interpellation: the utopian impulse corresponds to the moment of counter-interpellation. The operation of utopian counter-interpellation in the visual field is illustrated by an analysis of Annunciation by Previtali.Pričujoči članek skuša prikazati, da ima utopistični vzgib nekaj opraviti s strukturo človeške govorice. Prične s premišljanjem tematike govorice v treh utopijah: Bulwer Lyttonove The Coming Race, Hogbenove Interglossa in Utopije Thomasa Mora, nato pa nadaljuje z analizo utopistične gramatike s posebno navezavo na teorijo negacije Paola Virna in Althusserjevim konceptom interpelacije: utopističnemu impulzu ustreza moment protiinterpelacije. Operacija utopistične protiinterpelacije znotraj vidnega polja je ponazorjena z analizo Previtalijevega Oznanjenja
