This is a part of a revised version of my paper read in the symposium at the 43rd General Meeting of Chugoku-Shikoku branch of English Literary Society of Japan: "The Language of Women in English Literature," presided by Professor M. Kawai, Hiroshima University, held at Ehime University on 28 October 1990. "The Language of Criseyde in Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde (I)" has been published in Kawai Michio Sensei Taikan Kinen Eigo Eibungaku Kenkyu (Festschrift in Honour of Michio Kawai) (Eihosha, 1993) and "The Language of Criseyde in Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde (II)" in English and English Teaching (Festschrift in Honour of Hisashi Takahashi and Jiro Igarashi) (Faculty of School Education, Hiroshima University, 1993). This paper deals with several aspects of Criseyde's language: grammar, literacy, pronunciation, and verbosity.
