Time-Bound Words

- Semantic and Social Economies from Chaucer's England to Shakespeare's

About Time-Bound Words

Time-Bound Words argues that changes in English society and the English language are woven together, often in surprising ways, and investigates this claim by following eleven words from Chaucer's time to Shakespeare's. Middle English words like corage, estat, thrift , and virtu come to serve the logic of new social discourses by 1611.
