Abstract

Abstract Among the English words first recorded in William Langland’s Piers Plowman is araten “reprove.” This new, or newly literary, word encapsulates a peculiar quality of Piers Plowman, its cyclical depiction of verbal combat between opponents with unequal cultural authority. The word araten is perfect for Piers Plowman and plausibly was coined to purpose. This note suggests that araten cuts both ways in Piers Plowman’s multilayered analysis of class, and more broadly that visions of reproof with their political, social, literary, and theological implications were a central form through which Langland extended the A text into the B and C versions.

《农夫皮尔斯》中中古英语araten与屈尊俯就的场景

摘要在威廉·朗兰的《皮尔斯·普洛曼》中首次记录的英语单词中，有一个叫“repive”。这个新的或新文学的单词概括了皮尔斯·普洛尔曼的一种独特品质，它周期性地描述了文化权威不平等的对手之间的言语斗争。araten这个词对Piers Plowman来说是完美的，而且似乎是故意创造的。这篇注释表明，在皮尔斯·普洛曼对阶级的多层次分析中，araten是双向的，更广泛地说，带有政治、社会、文学和神学含义的谴责愿景是兰兰德将a文本扩展到B和C版本的核心形式。
