Chaucer and Stratford atte Bowe
- Published
- Bulletin of the John Rylands University Library of Manchester 74 (1992): 3-28.
- Description
- Examines thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Anglo-French, noting that Chaucer was steeped in an Anglo-French environment. This very Anglicized French--a second language of culture used to keep records--was the French Chaucer knew best, and his lexis is usually traceable to it. Rothwell reviews Anglo-French derivations in GP that have senses not found in dictionaries of medieval French.
