In "The Pardoner's Tale", Chaucer openly ridicules religious practices of the time.
First off, the Pardoner is a fraudster who doesn't even hide it. He openly talks about all of his methods of tricking people into paying him money. Just like the Catholic Church itself (at the time), he capitalizes on people's deepest and most irrational fear of eternal dam.nation, pardoning their sins in exchange for large sums of money. He doesn't even care if his customers are single mothers, widows, or other poor people. He carries around false relics which he sells to people. Most importantly, he doesn't hide it - and that is another important aspect of church practices which Chaucer criticizes through his work.
The greatest irony is that the Pardoner tells a story with a moral that greed is the root of all evil (as he repeats multiple times). His story is about three reckless hedonists who seek Death, only to find gold over which they will fight each other and die. Chaucer uses this story within a story to satirize the church's hypocrisy.

Denotative language is most likely to dominate the author's writing in an introductory textbook on astronomy.
