Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook to Modern Greek IT has always appeared to me a great mistake, and one of which our British Hellenists have good reason to be ashamed, that Greek in this country is always talked about as if it were a dead language, and Modern Greek, if mentioned at all, thrown aside as a patois, an acquaintance with which would rather hinder than advance the student in his mastery of the great classical tongue. This notion is both philo logically false and practically pernicious. Modern Greek is not a patois, a mongrel, hybrid, or degraded dialect in any legitimate sense of the word: it is the same language in which St. Paul delivered his discourse to the Athenians from the hill of Mars in the first century, with only such slight variations as the course of time naturally brings with it in the case of all spoken languages which have enjoyed an unbroken continuity of cultivated usage. N o doubt there do exist in Greece, and always have existed, certain local perversions of the cultivated speech, which may in a loose sense he called patois; just as we have a peculiar local type of English in Dorsetshire, another in Lancashire, and that.

Ten years ago I stated in my book The Modern Greek Language in its relation to Ancient Greek (published by the Clarendon Press, Oxford, in that Modern Greek is nothing but Ancient Greek made easy. Constant study and con verse with Greeks since that period have but served to confirm me in the opinion that that statement is literally correct. But if so, what follows? Why, that the study of Modern Greek is the true key to the mastery of the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Greek Mastery: A Short Road to Ancient Greek This is not so impossible as those who are familiar only with old-school routine are wont to imagine. Latin is so learned in Catholic seminaries throughout the world, and the result is seen in the practical knowledge of the language which the clergy of that church possess. The study of languages, ancient or modern, is still too much a matter of the eye and too little one of the ear or tongue. The ability to trans late, or even to appreciate the ideas expressed on the printed page without translating, does not constitute knowledge of a language, any more than familiarity with medical terminology makes a physician. True knowledge of a language comes from the mastery of the idiom by ear and tongue and eye, and does not consist in its cognition by the latter alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of the Modern Greek Vernacular: Grammar, Texts, Glossary I have been repeatedly approached from the English side with regard to a translation of my Modern Greek Handbook. English-speaking scholars are of course sufficiently familiar with the German language to consult German works in the original. But as there is a large number of English-speaking students who cannot do this, and as, besides, it is easier to master a foreign language in a grammar written in one's mother-tongue, I have been very pleased to give my consent when Messrs. T. & T. Clark of Edinburgh desired to arrange for a translation of the second edition of my Handbook, which was recently published and considerably enlarged. The translation gives the text of the German original without alteration, except that a few slips have been removed - partly due to the translator's accuracy. I desire to express my sincere thanks to Dr. S. Angus for the carefully executed translation; he has performed his task with great ability and with a perfect understanding of the subject. My wish is that my book, which has gained friends in its German form, may secure new friends in its English dress and contribute to an increased and deepened knowledge of Modern Greek among English-speaking scholars and students.
