摘要：
Although the word buf has been read as little more than an onomatopoeic representation of a monkish burp, this paper posits an etymological and semantic explanation for Chaucer's use of the word in The Summoner's Tale. It shows how Chaucer drew on several closely related Old French, Anglo-Norman, and Latin words to create a compound and dense image of monastic gluttony and corruption.
