- Description
- The oral-aural traditions of sermon giving and hearing can be illustrated in Chaucer's PardT, where four principles of sermon writing can be seen: strong interaction between the Pardoner and his audience of pilgrims; syntactic patterns such as parallel constructions, comparisons, and causal relationships; structural organization of the tale as a sermon; and "the sermon narrative" of the tale itself.
