- Description
- John of Cornwall's "Speculum grammaticale" uses English as well as Latin sentences for examples, and such vernacular pedagogy seems to have been widely established by late fourteenth century. The unidiomatic phrase "conservatyf the soun" (HF 847) may indicate that Chaucer learned Latin from "teaching grammars" that included materials in English.
