Using CT as an example, illustrates how tagging was less accurate with texts written before 1800. Also reveals that TC was found to have one of the shortest mean word lengths and narrowest vocabulary ranges in the poetry analyzed in the CCWL, while CT had one of the longest mean sentence lengths.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Observes that in Chaucer&#039;s short-line verse, headless lines are much more common than initial inversion, whereas in his iambic pentameter the exact opposite occurs. Argues that Chaucer and his predecessors used such metrical license &quot;very deliberately, not only for emphasis and rhetorical effect but also to clarify narrative and syntactical organization.&quot; Notes in particular its appearance &quot;in the context of non-indicative moods, lists and catalogues, direct speeches and changes of addressee, transition between narrative sections, and enjambement.&quot;]]></dcterms:description>
