Gyf hyr this medycyn: analysing the Middle English recipe medical discourse

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Within the historical studies of the English language, only the literary genre has been traditionally under the spotlight. However, there is a numher of texts which still remain virtually unstudied, at least, as far as their inter- nal structure is concerned. Nevertheless, studies on this particular matter by Manfred Górlach, and Paivi Pahta have enjoyed some attention. In this paper, I present the analysis of the recipes contained in Yale MS 47 (ff 60r- 71v) pointing out the structure of the texts, and the diffe- rent linguistic devices used in the different parts of the medical recipe.
