    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[It is commonly held that a large number of Old French loan words in Middle English were literary borrowings.  However, a study of a restricted group (designating articles of dress and fabrics) shows that most such words were current before the influential translation (Chaucer&#039;s?) of the &quot;Roman de la Rose&quot; and that several others were nonce words that did not gain currency.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Nominalism and literature were never parts of a single, seamless discourse; influences between them are at best complex and indirect.
