- Description
- Offers a technical linguistic analysis of STR (speech and thought representation) in TC, theorizing a hierarchical "structure of subjectivities" to examine samples from the poem, attending to nuances latent in diction, situation, point of view, manuscript context, editorial intervention, etc. Concludes with comments on the "plasticity" of Chaucer’s STR, the "varying subjectivities that are likely to be encoded" in it, and how they "allow for semantic extension."
