Language

Abstract

This chapter situates Chaucer's language within the larger linguistic context of late-medieval England (vis-à-vis French, for example), and considers how Chaucer's own views of language and linguistic diversity had implications for his poetic style. It also treats more specific aspects of linguistic form, such as sounds and syntax, and includes an addendum on the topic of Chaucerian pragmatics.
