""The Vocalism of Romanic Words in Chaucer"" is a scholarly work by Ruben Nojd, originally published in 1919. The book explores the pronunciation of words of Romance origin in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, a medieval English poet known for his influential contributions to the English language. Nojd examines the phonetic features of these words, including their vowel sounds and stress patterns, and compares them to the pronunciation of similar words in other Romance languages such as French, Italian, and Spanish. The book also provides insights into the historical development of English pronunciation and the influence of French on the English language during the Middle Ages. This work is a valuable resource for scholars of linguistics, medieval literature, and the history of the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
