Chaucer's 'Termes'
- Published
- Yearbook of English Studies 7 (1977): 53-67.
- Description
- Although Chaucer's use of "termes" ranges from simple pun or word play to the emergence of an elaborate figurative pattern, his basic technique makes certain words gain power from use, context, and collocation and perhaps forms the basis of the brevity and eloquence revered by early admirers.
