- Description
- Defines repetends as either (1) "repeating fixed phrases," or (2) "repeating collocations" in which word order may change and other words may intervene. Computer-assisted tabulation of repetends enables stylistic comparison of ManPT to GP, indicating that Chaucer alternated conventional and innovative language in patterns that may help us date his works in relation to each other.
