Title
'Thou' and 'Ye': a Collocational-Phraseological Approach to Pronoun Change in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales

Published
Studia Anglica Posnaniensia 42 (2006): 213-38.

Description
Chaucer's use of thou and ye usually follows the standard pattern of his day. Some pronoun switching does appear, sometimes because of rhyme or textual variants but often because Chaucer uses a common formula, quotation, or other habitual lexical combination.
