- Description
- Seeks to describe and negotiate the variety of "cultural codes" that serve as the contexts for the "language of literature" between Chaucer and Alan Garner. The section on Chaucer and Gower (pp. 24-30) focuses on their "syntagmatic" emphasis within the broader assumptions of analogical thinking. Includes analysis of the lexicon that Chaucer's uses in TC 3.1359-79.
