Any opinions, findings, and conclusions or recommendations expressed in this dictionary are those of the compiler’s and do not necessarily reflect the views of the compiler’s institution, JSPS or MEXT.
The first phase of this dictionary project is devoted to the inclusion of all adjectives used in two of Chaucer’s poetic masterpieces, Troilus and Criseyde, and The Canterbury Tales.
This dictionary abundantly features the editor’s original analyses and discoveries; at the same time, it reports the findings of previous scholarship to ensure informative and objective results for readers. A list of references is appended below:
