Recenzii

'This valuable collections of essays examines the significance of the speech act in representative areas of medieval literature [...] The editor proposes to bring together the disciplines of linguistics and literature, and her introduction makes an important contribution to the application of sociolinguistics to literary analysis. [...] The volume makes a rich contribution to the important question of literary speech, which has implications for our understanding of literary craft, class, gender, linguistic consciousness, power, and modes of argument in medieval literature.' - Laurie Shepard, in: Sixteenth Century Journal, XXXVI/4 (2005)
