Chaucer's Defense of the Vulgar Tongue
- Published
- Postscript 9 (1992): 19-30.
- Description
- Especially in the Eagle's speech on sound in HF, Chaucer's verse reflects his concern not with the monological, authoritative, written aspects of speech but with speech as an exploratory, vital, interactive process, recently explored by such theoreticians as Kierkegaard, Ong, and Bakhtin.
- Revised as "'Lewedly To a Lewed Man Speke': Chaucer's Defense of the Vulgar Tongue," in Dennis L. Weeks and Jane Hoogestraat, eds. Time, Memory, and the Verbal Arts: Essays on the Thought of Walter Ong (Selinsgrove, Penn.: Susquehanna University Press, 1998), pp. 134-54.
