- Description
- Ogura examines the lexicon of emotion (anger, fear, joy, pleasure, sorrow, wonder) in translations of Boethius by Jean de Meun, Chaucer, and Elizabeth I. Chaucer effectively uses three levels of word pairs: native, foreign, and combinations of native-foreign. He selects synonyms for translation in Bo by principles different from those reflected in his original texts.
