Extract

Words do not seem to matter equally in different cultures. Nor do they matter equally to all people. It is therefore altogether appropriate that an essay honoring Martin Joos should deal with the meaning of a word in a Middle High German courtly epic; for there have been few cultures in which words counted for so much as in medieval German courtly society, and there are few people to whom words matter so much as Martin Joos. I mean this of course not in the trivializing sense that mere words matter to the detriment of substance, but in the ancient, honorable sense that concern for words and their relations reflects profound involvement in and understanding of language and culture. To Martin Joos, then, I dedicate this exploratory study of triuwe in Gottfried’s Tristan.
