- Description
- Draws on data derived from "EDD Online"--a digitization of Joseph Wright’s "English Dialect Dictionary"--to investigate "the role of Chaucer's language for 18th- and 19th-century dialects: of English, summarizing Chaucer's interests in dialects, describing his influence on lexicons across time and geography, and detailing commonalities between Chaucer's lexicon and that of County Wexford, Ireland. Clarifies the uses and utilities of "EDD Online."
