The monograph discusses the relation between language and visual culture, focusing on two Chaucerian narratives, «Knight’s Tale» and «Troilus and Criseyde». The study highlights the significance of the continuity of imagery in language and material culture for cultural transmission, providing insights into the relation between Chaucer’s linguistic usage and the late medieval symbolic tradition. Undertaken within the Cognitive Linguistic framework, the research indicates the usefulness of adopting a panchronic perspective on the development of language and culture.
Katarzyna Stadnik is a lecturer in the Department of Cultural Linguistics at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin, Poland. Her research interests include issues such as the role of language as an aid to cultural transmission, the sociocultural situatedness of the language user, and late medieval visual culture.
