Fun fact: All modern Greek words that are composite, use only ancient Greek parts, rejecting the modern Greek words which may be loans from foreign languages. For example we say nero = water in modern Greek, but the composite word for aqueduct is NOT nero-gogeio but ydragogeio from ancient Greek ydor. Another example is door: porta in modern Greek but thyra in ancient Greek. Window in modern Greek is parathyro, NOT paraporto. This way, ancient Greek words have been forever secured in the future of the Greek language. Also, thousands of Bronze Age Proto-Greek words (dating back to 1500-2000 BC) are either the same or sound very similar to modern Greek. Hint: Check the Linear B Lexicon (dictionary) for a comparative study, to confirm my "bold" claim. The names of some Greek Gods like Ares or Zeus were recorded in surviving Linear B clay tablets that date back to the 14th and 15th century BC.

@Pink--Black Месяц назад

The solution to the whole ancient Greek pronunciation conundrum is well formulated by Adrian and Luke starting at 42:50. Just use whatever system you've learned, use it consistently, don't worry about it, and actually work on acquiring the language itself. Once you've reached an intermediate to advanced intermediate level, you will find that you understand most accents with ease. Other advanced learners will easily understand you too, no matter what pronunciation system you use. If you later find that you like another pronunciation better, you will naturally adopt it by listening a lot to the people who use it. But always use the one you like, that is easy for you, that feels natural to you, no matter how 'wrong' it supposedly is. There will always be those 'peanut gallery' people who will be commenting upon your pronunciation, even though they cannot even speak the language themselves. Who cares about people like that? Don't let them bog you down, because this whole pronunciation issue can really become an affective filter, seriously hindering or even preventing you from learning the language. Experts on second language acquisition agree that negative emotions associated with a language obstruct learning, to the point of making it impossible. Yes, you are actually required to relax for this thing to work; you must enjoy, you must have fun, if you want to be anywhere near efficient with learning any language. So forget about all the finger wagging, and once you got acquainted with the various systems from a theoretical phonological point of view (Luke's videos are very useful for that!), simply go on to pronounce ancient Greek exactly the way you feel like, that feels good and that comes natural to you. Only then can you do the real work of learning the language. 💜🖤

@RiccardoRadici Месяц назад

Thanks, Luke, for this video and congratulations to Adrian for his magnificent work! Since I know you are very keen on Greek phonology, I want to draw your attention to a work by linguist Luciano Canepari titled "Ancient Greek Pronunciation & Modern Accents", which is freely available on his website as a PDF. Based on linguistic science, he draws his own very peculiar conclusions about classical Attic pronunciation. Perhaps you might want to read it.

@polyMATHY_Luke Месяц назад

Wow! It’s absolutely CRAZY. I know Canepari from other papers. I have a lot of esteem for him, but his proposals are, at first glance, very hard to swallow. I shall have to read this carefully. Grazie!

@polyMATHY_Luke Месяц назад

I enjoyed his paper (I've read it all just now), but I'm persuaded by the need for peer-reviewing - very many of his facts are outright wrong. While his derisive attitude to the orthography is entertaining, he is way out of his depth when it comes to a lot of the chronology and data - his interpretation of a great deal of what he comments on is glibly superficial, and so he reaches incorrect conclusions very quickly. Half of this stuff reads like my humor-video "Greek Gotcha," except I think he is serious. For example, he says iota-subscript was an invention of Aristophanes of Byzantium; it wasn't, as it was a Mediaeval invention. He's off by a thousand years. The fact that he dimisses long vowels in un-stressed syllables (why is he talking about stress?) as impossible in "natural languages" shows how isolated he is - Japanese, Hungarian, Finnish would all like to have a word with him. 4.15 Is especially entertaining in how bad his data are. He tries to assert that ζ /zd/ for Classical Attic is preposterous, as Aeolic had /zd/ and represented it as σδ, comparing Aeolic σδεύγλα with Attic ζεύγλη. The problem is that literary Aeolic was passed down to us via their being written down in the Hellenistic Period based on the Koine Pronunciation of the letters. Thus Sappho's work today has πέσδων where Attic/Koine have πεζῶν, but this is because those scribes wished to show what contemporary Aeolic sounded like, where older /zd/ was retained yet was replaced in Koine by /zz/. Canepari frames 4.15 as a "gotcha!" moment against the establishment, but his chronology is off since he hasn't put the work in to figure out the details. I love the earnestness with which he is seeking to apply modern linguistic understanding to Ancient Greek without being overly influenced by traditional sources. Unfortunately, a lot of his input data are wrong, so his conclusions are wrong. A shame he hadn't met me first! I would have loved what he might have come up with. As it is, he has developed a sort of conlang, a phonology that is weakly rooted in the reality.

@RiccardoRadici Месяц назад

@@polyMATHY_Luke I completely agree. It seems to me that he wanted to apply his deep linguistic knowledge to Ancient Greek, but he neglected to do the necessary preliminary studies on historical Greek phonology, so he made many mistakes. In my opinion, he underestimated the problem of how badly Ancient Greek pronunciation is known even among scholars: instead of asking the counseling of Fernando Maggi, I wish he had met you and Turrigiano!
