| Abstract | "Assuming no previous linguistic knowledge or familiarity with Middle English, Chaucer's Language leads the reader through basic linguistic concepts, highlighting how Chaucer's English differs from present-day English, and the significance of this for interpreting and understanding his work. Horobin provides close analysis and comparison with the writings of Chaucer's contemporaries to show how Chaucer drew on the variety of Middle English to achieve particular poetic effects. This 3rd edition has been fully revised throughout with updated examples, insights from the most recent scholarship and a new chapter on using digital images"-- Provided by publisher. |
