POETIC STRUCTURE, NARRATIVE TECHNIQUE AND SOUND ORGANIZATION IN THE CANTERBURY TALES

Abstract

The linguopoetic analysis of The Canterbury Tales cannot be complete without examining its poetic structure, narrative architecture, and sound organization. Beyond lexical richness and stylistic variation, Chaucer’s artistic mastery is manifested in the structural design of the work and in the rhythmic and phonetic qualities of his verse. These elements collectively contribute to the aesthetic integrity of the text and reinforce its thematic complexity
