- Description
- Describes uses of the lexemes "trouthe" and "soth" in CT, comparing them with "truth" in present-day English. Shows that, associated with love, light, and wisdom, Chaucer’s "trouthe" differs from his "soth": the former resides in an abstract semantic field, dealing with matters of fidelity and promises; the latter, with facticity.
