- Published
- Studies in Medieval Language and Literature (Tokyo) 2 (1987): 59-75.
- Description
- An attempt to measure objectively the stylistic similarities and/or dissimilarities among the frequencies of "shall," "will," "should," and "would" per thousand words in CT. A cluster analysis of these frequencies generally supports Muscatine's classification of the tales (1957) and the findings of Ono (1975)
