Arbeiten aus Anglistik und Amerikanistik 4 (1978): 61-79.

Description
Virtually all aspects of Chaucer's English need further work. Some of these are the poet's idiolect, word-formation, syntax and its adjustment to oral presentation, learned and "lewed" words, social dialect, and polysemy and synonymy. Much significant work in progress will help in these areas.
