- Description
- Based on Nakao's earlier book, "The Structure of Chaucer's Ambiguity" (2004; in Japanese), this republished English version analyzes the "parole aspect of language" within an expanded study of ambiguity in TC. Proposes an original theoretical framework, "double prism structure," which brings together elements of cognitive linguistics, semantics, and pragmatics.
