"French Speech as Dramatic Action in Shakespeare's Henry V" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc381/ Author: Walls, Alison. Type: Journal Article Year: 2013 Publication Information: Language and Literature 22, no. 2 (2013): 119–31. Annotation: "Demonstrates . . . the singularity of non-English characters actually speaking a different tongue in Shakespeare's plays, and the way in which [Henry V] draws attention to such speech." Discusses how scenes involving French speech in the play "are used to illustrate how foreign language operates dramaturgically to privilege the physicality of speech, thereby emphasising the bodily reality of the character/actor."
