    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Studies Chaucer&#039;s uses of &quot;gan&quot; and &quot;do&quot; with infinitive forms, tracing the history of the usage in English and providing statistics about Chaucer&#039;s uses and their relative chronologies. In Chaucer&#039;s works, &quot;gan&quot; is generally periphrastic and used for purposes of rhyme and meter; &quot;do,&quot; on the other hand, is meaningful, often involving causation, although also used prosodically as well. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Nonce words in CT illustrate a correlation between conventionality in subject matter and conventionality in diction.  Because nonce words increase as Chaucer&#039;s career progresses, their frequency can be used for relative dating. Following this process, one would conclude that Anel is part of Chaucer&#039;s &quot;juvenilia&quot; and that the F version of the &quot;Prologue&quot; to LGW comes after either the G version or the legends themselves.]]></dcterms:description>
