Stress Placement

The present paper1 will be concerned with some descriptive and theoretical issues connected with Glide Formation (GF) and Stress Placement (StrP) as well as with the interplay of these rules in the ‘phonological component’ of Modern Greek (MG). These problems have recently been discussed by Irene Warburton whose article (1976) will serve as a point of reference.Warburton's paper consists of two major parts of rather unequal strength. The first section (‘The relationship between stress and vowel length’, 260–268) makes a good case against attempts to condition the MG stress rule(s) phonologically by setting up never-surfacing distinctions of vowel length. It is also meritorious plea for the view that morphological conditioning ‘does not necessarily introduce irregularity in the language’ (Warburton, 259), as far as the rule makes reference to ‘a natural class of items… that can be subsumed wihin a single morphological feature (e.g. Past, Plural, etc.) that is independently available’ (l.c.).

The Relationship

The Ph.D. Thesis consists, in addition to the Introduction, of two Parts and one Appendix. Part One deals with European Enlightenment as a spiritual movement and the dimensions that the idea of eudaimonia as an aim of education has taken in its context. Part Two deals with how Greek scholars of Modern Greek Enlightenment, and especially scholars within the ideological circle of Adamantios Korai, approached the idea of eudaimonia or “happiness on earth” as the object of education. The thesis explores the meaning of education specifically for Greeks as a means of happiness, as it is primarily understood as a means of spiritual and political liberation. Education can lead to prosperity and prosperity, which is conditionally based on freedom, both political and individual, should be pursued through an educational content of both moral philosophy, political philosophy, and a properly structured Christian education. Part One, which contains 4 chapters, presents the problem of European Enlightenment in relation to education, in order to establish the relevance of Modern Greek to European Enlightenment in relation to the interconnection of education and eudaimonia. Part Two, dealing with Modern Greek Enlightenment, examines how scholars belonging to the Korai ideological circle approach the relationship of happiness and education. Following is an Appendix presenting, briefly but for the first time, an 18th-century Greek manuscript dedicated to the collection of the Holy Archimandrite of Aigio, which saves a work entitled Practical Philosophy under the name of Antonios Moschopoulos (1718-1788). The work, among others, deals with issues of Ethical and Political Philosophy and addresses the issue of the relation of education and well-being. A precise table of comparison of the chapters between the Greek manuscript and the original Latin work written by Ludwig Philipp Thümmig (1697-1728), a student of Christian Wolff (1679-1754) is also given. In summary, the originality of the thesis lies in the following. (1) For the first time, an overall view is given of the concept of eudaimonia in the ethical and political texts of Modern Greek Enlightenment and its relation to education. (2) It is attempted to ascertain the equilibrium attempted in these Greek sources between “secular-earthy happiness” and “heaven bliss”. (3) It appears that the main source for the ethical and pedagogical ideas the Greek enlightenment scholars used, were the works of scholars representing the "moderate" stream of the European Enlightenment, which were translated or reproduced freely by modern Greek scholars.

The Relationship

From the eighth century, the Eastern Orthodox Churches engaged in various forms of theological dialogue and debate with newly emergent Islam. Although scholars have tended to study Islamic-Christian relations in terms of confrontation and direct conflict, this aspect, dominant as it may be, must not lead us to overlook another aspect of the relationship, that of attempts at rapprochement and understanding. Despite the acerbity of Byzantium’s anti-heretical and apologetic literature against Islam, there were also attempts at communication and mutual understanding between Christianity and Islam. These efforts became more tangible after the fall of Constantinople (1453), which marked a partial change in Orthodoxy’s theological stance towards Islam. The polemical approach, which had prevailed during Byzantine times, gave way in part to an innovative and more conciliatory theological discourse towards Islam. Modern Greek research categorizes the theological discourse that was articulated during this period according to two diametrically opposing models: the model of conciliation and rapprochement with Islam, which was not widely influential, and that of messianic Utopian discourse developed by Christians who had turned to God and sought divine intervention to save the community.

Sophisticated Analysis

‘Sacralising the past: cults of archaeology in modern Greece’ appears within the framework of recent discussions on archaeology and nationalism and attempts to produce a reflexive and sophisticated analysis of the construction of nationalist discourses, both at the level of state and on an individual basis. Along these lines, Hamilakis and Yalouri argue that attitudes toward classical antiquity in modern Greece constitute what they term a form of ‘secular religion’ which presents distinct affinities with Orthodoxy. In constructing their argument the authors combine a number of analytical domains and touch upon a multitude of issues, all of which merit extensive discussion. However, the main point of their thesis concerns the relationship between the classical past and Greek Orthodox religion, a link forged during the creation of the modern Greek state. According to the authors, apart from being at the roots of nationalist state discourse, this link has also been a persistent, even dominant, feature in the popular perception of classical heritage.

The essay aims to outline the history of the teaching of Modern Greek at Ca’ Foscari University of Venice: it started with its foundation in 1868, with Costantino Triantafillis, and was interrupted for more than a century from 1890. This paper also deals with the history of the discipline from 1868 until today, with an eye on the connection with the political and cultural life of the country and on the relationship with other disciplines (such as Ancient Greek language and literature and Byzantine civilization). After an interval of a century classes of Modern Greek started up again at Ca’ Foscari in 1994-95 thanks to the teaching of Lucia Marcheselli Loukas. Since 1998 the teaching has been revived with a tenured professor and, in the last twenty years, it has trained graduate students and young scholars who today play a cultural and linguistic role of mediation between Italy and Greece.

Discursive Resources

AbstractIn Georgia’s multilingual Greek community, the construction of belonging appears to be tied to religion and ancestry, with competence in Standard Modern Greek (SMG) not always being seen as necessary in order to “be Greek”. Forty-nine semi-structured interviews are analyzed, combining a quantitative and conversation analytical approach. Intriguingly, language competence in SMG does not always correlate with whether an interviewee deems this competence important for belonging to the Greek community. The interviews are embedded in their historical and socio-political context to elucidate the discursive resources interviewees may draw on when talking about the relationship between linguistic competence and belonging.

The article analyzes paremias, which indicate family relations among Rumei, who migrated to the Azov Sea area from the Crimea in the 18th century. It is indicated that the traditional Rumeic family was patriarchal, the head of the family was always a man. This tradition, for the most part, persists till nowadays, despite the fact that as a result of globalization and europeanization, the emphasis is shifting in the family structure of the Rumei. A woman held a lower position than a man, but she was always his shield and support. The paremias indicate that if a woman possessed intelligence and cunning, then she could easily manage to direct the man for her own benefits. A lot of paremias reflect the attitude of Rumei to children. They say that the basis of the family has always been children, without them the house seemed empty and devoid of life. A special honor for a man was the birth of sons, who were to become the successors of his family. The article describes the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law through paremias, which was not kind to the son’s wife. The article concludes by emphasizing the values that the parents tried to instill in their children, which is also reflected in the paremias of Rumei. Prospects for further research are seen in a comparative study of the paremias which indicate family relations in Rumeic, Modern Greek, Ukrainian, and Crimean Tatar Language.

The Relationship

This study aims to explore the relationship between the works of Yvan Goll and E. Ch. Gonatas. More specifically, the main purpose of the study is to highlight the role played by the Expressionist Movement (in which Yvan Goll was an active member) in the literary works of E. Ch. Gonatas. The methodological tools of Comparative Literature and Hermeneutics are used to prove the close relationship between the two authors and the expressionistic texture of their art. In the first part, the study is concerned with the expressionistic imagery, the poetics of landscape, the use of colors and the symbolization of nature (especially through the motif of the humanization of animals). The second part deals with the influence of Expressionism on the mutability of the literary genres, the generic hybridization in the work of E. Ch. Gonatas and the small literary form.The main objectives of the study are: i) A heuristic report of the presence of Expressionism in Modern Greek Literature (especially in the post-surrealistic movement), ii) the clarification of certain aspects in Gonatas' poetics and iii) the acquaintance with the work of the major poet but unknown to the Greek general public, Yvan Goll.

Taking as a starting point one of Maurice Gross's work on the construction be Prep X, we present the classes we have established for the Greek language. We have retained the classes established by M. Gross for French. For the Greek study, our point of departure is a selection of 2200 frozen expressions. But we have gone beyond this to study not only frozen expression but also productive phrases. The aim of this analysis was to establish the similarities or differences which exist between Greek and French. By studying the elements of these syntactic strings in both languages, we observe that the area of greatest difference occurs in the selection of prepositions, We have also studied the relationship between the support verb to be in Modern Greek and French and its relations with other support verbs. This study will serve as a basis for future comparative studies which will ultimately serve to support automatic translation.

The Relationship

The new aesthetic experience offered by the Italian diva to the Hellenic upper classes of the Orient was filtered through their broader concerns related to social and national visions. Adelaide Ristori was received as a representative of Western culture, which at that time bore the double significance of social progress and economic exploitation in the Near East. For a minority of commentators, she was one more European speculator who was taking advantage of the supposed treasures of the East. For the supporters of westernization, however, the performances and her personality raised issues which had been discussed in Western Europe a long time previously, regarding the power of the theatre to shape national and social conscience and the relationship between art and material culture.
