- Description
- Includes six essays about Chaucer by Leon Sendra and a summary-introduction by Jesus L. Serrano Reyes. The first essay proposes a sociolinguistic approach to Chaucer's works, based on the textual-linguistic theory of M. A. K. Halliday, and the other essays apply some aspect of this approach. In HF, the relation between sign and style encourages the audience to reach beyond interpretation.
- Critical responses to Criseyde reflect how ambiguities in TC promote the reader's participation. In PardT, ClT, WBT, and FranT, the personal topic of love engages the audience. Halliday's systemic-functional approach to style makes clear the various levels of discourse and the particularly English features of Th. Chaucer's references to Spain in GP, MkT, PardT, HF, and Rom capitalize on common assumptions about Spain.
