《坎特伯雷故事》女性形象言语行为初探

The Female Characters' Speech Acts in The Canterbury Tales

在乔叟的《坎特伯雷故事》里,女性形象通过逻辑话语、沉默、闲谈和诅咒的言语行为来表达自我、追寻身份。这表明乔叟虽处于十四世纪厌女情节严重的英国社会,他对于女性和女性的命运仍有深刻的同情和反思。

In Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales, the female characters’ speech acts like logical discourse, silence, gossip and curse axe ways for them to express themselves and search for an identity. Chaucer, though living in the misogynistic fourteenthcentury English society, has strong sympathy for and gives serious consideration to women and their fate.
