- Description
- Comments on a wide variety of examples—comic and/or serious—of boundaries and sutures between languages in the late medieval literature, exploring issues of translation, including biblical translation; perceived contrasts between "supposedly fixed languages such as Latin and ever-changing vernaculars"; Latin as a vernacular; the relations between vernaculars, especially English and French; animal and human language; and gendered language. Includes many instances drawn from Chaucer.
