    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Medievalism, Multilingualism, and Chaucer]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[In late medieval England, &quot;code-switching&quot; among English, French, and Latin was linked to literacy and social prestige, not to aberrant or nonconformist behavior; code-switching was a means to articulate social identity. Chaucer distanced his projects from attitudes of alleged &quot;masculine&quot; Anglophone monolingualism. He viewed his Continental counterparts not as linguistic inferiors, but as writers to be emulated; English was linked strongly to orality and, thus, to dialectical &quot;diversite.&quot; Multilingualism constituted power. Code-switching into Latin and French gave Chaucer&#039;s language an authority not available in English alone. Davidson refers to GP, NPT, PardT, WBT, SumT, FrT, and TC, along with works by Gower and Langland.]]></dcterms:description>
