Book excerpt: An Easy Start to GreekFailure to master the basics of a language -- its spelling and phonics rules -- will cripple our progress in mastering the whole language. Yet many Greek grammars spend little time teaching the symbols and sounds of the Greek alphabet. Before we can learn a language, we must master its alphabet.This new edition of A Greek Alphabetarion has been thoroughly revised and reformatted to make it easier for parents to teach their children, and for older students to learn by themselves. A syllabary (practice blending consonants and vowels) and a chrestomathy (practice reading sample passages) have been added in this new edition.A Greek Alphabetarion teaches the Greek alphabet in alphabetical order, letter by letter, using a rhythmic cadence to aid the student?s memorization. Then, it teaches the alphabet in phonetic order, classifying each letter by its sound. A Greek Alphabetarion helps the student step-by-step to master reading Greek before moving on to study Greek grammar. Suitable for all ages, child through adult, in homeschools, private schools, colleges, and seminaries.Pronunciation CD included.

Download or read book The Textualization of the Greek Alphabet written by Roger D. Woodard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-03-24 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Roger D. Woodard argues that when the Greeks first began to use the alphabet, they viewed themselves as participants in a performance phenomenon conceptually modeled on the performances of the oral poets. Since a time older than Greek antiquity, the oral poets of Indo-European tradition had been called 'weavers of words' - their extemporaneous performance of poetry was 'word weaving'. With the arrival of the new technology of the alphabet and the onset of Greek literacy, the very act of producing written symbols was interpreted as a comparable performance activity, albeit one in which almost everyone could participate, not only the select few. It was this new conceptualization of and participation in performance activity by the masses that eventually, or perhaps quickly, resulted in the demise of oral composition in performance in Greece. In conjunction with this investigation, Woodard analyzes a set of copper plaques inscribed with repeated alphabetic series and a line of what he interprets to be text, which attests to this archaic Greek conceptualization of the performance of symbol crafting.
Download or read book Greek Alphabet written by Catherine R. Proppe and published by Catherine Proppe. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do the letters of the ancient Greek alphabet mean? Conventionally, the answer is that they are simply sounds without meaning. But the thing is, the ancient Greeks saw meaning in everything. They equated the natural world with the divine. They studied the world to understand divinity. In doing so, the ancient Greeks created the foundation of modern math, science, democracy, medicine, art, architecture, and language. In a culture that saw meaning in everything, is it likely that their written record consisted of sounds without meaning? Not very. Greek letters have meaning. Greek Alphabet: Unlock the Secrets explains why Greek letters are shaped the way they are, what they mean, and how these letters are used to form meaningful words. Spoiler alert: Omega is most definitely not the last letter of the Greek alphabet.

Book excerpt: This Greek Alphabet Primer is designed to introduce children ages 7-11 to the letters of the Greek alphabet. It teaches the Modern pronunciation that is used by the Orthodox Church, but the vocabulary words used for examples are taken from Biblical and liturgical Greek. The goal is to prepare children and families to learn to understand Greek as it is read and sung in Orthodox church services. But since Greeks pronounce Ancient, Biblical, and Medieval texts in the same way that they speak their own modern tongue, families will be able to use these resources to how to pronounce Modern Greek as well.Each of the 24 letter "chapters" contains: - a short introduction to the pronunciation and writing of the letter- an illustration of the shape of the uppercase letter with a pictureof a word beginning with that letter- a story of a saint whose name begins with the letter- an icon coloring page of that saint- a copywork page containing the name of the letter, the wordillustrating the letter, and the name of the saint

Download or read book Greek Writing from Knossos to Homer written by Roger D. Woodard and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1997 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certain characteristic features of the Cypriot script - for example, its strategy for representing consonant sequences and elements of Cypriot Greek phonology - were transferred to the new alphabetic script. Proposing a Cypriot origin of the alphabet at the hands of previously literate adapters brings clarity to various problems of the alphabet, such as the Greek use of the Phoenician sibilant letters. The alphabet, rejected by the post-Bronze Age "Mycenaean" culture of Cyprus, was exported west to the Aegean, where it gained a foothold among a then illiterate Greek people emerging from the Dark Age. Woodard's study, a combination of philological and epigraphical investigation with linguistic theory, should be of interest to both scholars and students of classics, linguistics, and Near Eastern studies.

Download or read book Alpha to Omega written by Alexander Humez and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This witty and intellectually adroit book about the Greek alphabet is a natural abecedarium. At the same time, it is a book about ancient Greek culture, since alphabets, like people, bring their cultural baggage with them. An abecedarian procedure moreover is ideally suited to the relaxed and browsing sampling the Humez brothers have designed. To wit, a series of glimpses of the Greek world and its impact on our own -- historical, philosophical, mathematical, cosmological, political. These six words come to English from the Greek. This is no coincidence: we owe these concepts to the Greeks as well. The six words cast long shadows. Using them, willy-nilly, you think like a Greek. Their book is divided into twenty-four sections, one for each letter of the Greek alphabet plus a last section on the lost Greek letters. The accompanying essays look at English words -- some common, some esoteric, all legitimate and current -- which come from Greek words beginning with the letter at hand, and explore the aspects of Greek culture behind the borrowed words. With a thoroughly relaxed elegance, Alpha to Omega shows just how inevitably Greek those who use English really are.
