Title
Metrix of Chaucer: An Analysis Based on the Kiparsky theory

Published
Lexicon 8 (1979): 1-15. [Iwasaki Linguistic Circle].

Description
In view of Kiparsky's new theory (1977), we can show the differences of the metrical rules in the specific types of mismatches allowed in each of Chaucer's works. We can say that the constraints on mismatches became severer in an orderly way from Chaucer's early poetry to his late poetry.
