Ubiquitous Format? What Ubiquitous Format? Chaucer's Tale of Melibee as a Proverb Collection
Year: 2002
Type: article
Abstract: This article will analyze late fourteenth-century oral/written interfaces in England. It employs information and methodologies from a range of academic disciplines in addition to folklore: from the history of education, in reference to students bilingual in French and Middle English while learning the pan-European Latin language; and also from psycholinguistics, neuropsychology, translation studies, philology, and paremiology (to allow the study of proverbs its own domain name). These approaches intertwine toward an immediate goal that sounds quite familiar within the standard field of literary studies. The analysis will contribute toward a fuller understanding of everybody's favorite Canterbury pilgrim, the Wife of Bath.
