A Computer-assisted Quantitative Comparison of the Editions of Chancer's Dream Poetry

以下是对乔叟的《梦之诗》进行全面文本比较的中期报告。在《公爵夫人书》中，我们对以下几个版本进行了比较：本森的《河畔乔叟》(Boston：Houghton Mifflin，1987)，F.N.Robinson的《Geoffrey Chaucer的作品》(Boston：Houghton Mifflin，1957)，以及H.Phillips的《公爵夫人的书》(The Book Of The Duchess)，由H.Phillips和N.Havely编辑的《Chaucer的梦想诗集》(London：Longman，1997)。在《名人堂》中，对以下三个版本进行了比较：本森的《河边的乔叟》(Boston：Houghton Mifflin，1987)，F.N.Robinson的《Geoffrey Chaucer的作品》(Boston：Houghton Mifflin，1957)，以及H.Phillips的《The House of Fame》，由H.Phillips和N.Haful编辑(London：Longman，1997)。在这项研究中，我们使用的方法与我们在坎特伯雷故事、特罗伊勒斯和Criseyde项目中使用的方法相同。我们首先需要制作相应的行，从…中各取一行更多的版本，在我们将本森的版本作为比较的基础之后。我们保留了原版中出现的所有标点符号，因为它们可能表明编辑对乔叟句法的不同解释。在本书的第一部分“不同词形的行”中，我们列出了包含一个或多个不同单词和拼写的所有行，包括大小写差异。在第二部分“词形对应索引”中，我们对对应的单词集合进行了按字母顺序排序的单词索引。这一索引使得快速、全面地核对每一个词集成为可能。我们现在正在准备“交叉引用”，以便更容易地对每个版本进行比较。目前的清单包括进一步定量和定性研究四篇社论在拼写和词汇方面的差异的基本材料。我们试图通过厘清不同版本之间的文本异同，为乔舍尔的文本批评做出贡献。较少

What follows is an interim report of a comprehensive textual comparison of Chaucer's Dream Poetry. In The Book of the Duchess, we have undertaken a comparison of the following editions : Benson's The Riverside Chaucer (Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1987), F.N.Robinson's The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer (Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1957), and H.Phillips's "The Book of the Duchess, " Chaucer's Dream Poetry, edited by H.Phillips and N.Havely (London : Longman, 1997). In The House of Fame, the following three editions are compared : Benson's The Riverside Chaucer (Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1987), F.N.Robinson's The Works of Geoffrey Chaucer (Boston : Houghton Mifflin, 1957), and H.Phillips's "The House of Fame, " Chaucer's Dream Poetry, edited by H.Phillips and N.Havely (London : Longman, 1997).In this study, we have used the same method as we did in our Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde projects. It has been first necessary for us to make the corresponding lines, taking one from each of … More the editions, after we have made Benson's edition the basis for comparison. We have left all punctuation marks intact as they appear in the original editions, because they may indicate the editors' different interpretations of Chaucer's syntax. In Part I "Lines With Different Word Forms" of the present book, we have listed all the lines which contain one or more different words and spellings including upper/lower case differences. In Part II "Word Form Correspondence Index" we have made an alphabetically ordered word index to the sets of corresponding words. This index makes it possible to check every word set quickly and comprehensively. We are now preparing for "Cross-References" in order to make the comparison for each edition easier. The present list comprises the basic material for a further quantitative and qualitative study of the differences in spelling and vocabulary among the four editons. We have tried to make a contribution to Chaucerian texutal criticism by clarifying the textual similarities and differences among the editions. Less
