About this product

Product Information

Excerpt from Handbook of the Modern Greek Vernacular Grammar, Texts, Glossary Dialect which give a fairly good idea of the multiplicity and variety of modern Greek patois. Antations are here sub joined in order to render the dialects more easily intelligible. Every one who is at all familiar with how far the alphabetic representations of dialect texts fall short of phonetic exact ness will comprehend the reason why I did t group the pieces in the first part, to which are attached tices of the places of origin (eg. Epirus, Chios, Naxos), under Specimens of Dialect: at best they are to be considered merely as reproductions of a common language with dialect colouring. But in the Specimens of Dialect the purpose was to portray with as much faithfulness as possible the local patois, which is more or less the case in the texts selected. That from Cyprus (iii. 8) is unfortunately very imperfect: there exist but few really reliable texts of modern Greek dialects. The second specimen of Pontic (iii. 13. B) is taken from my own collections which I made during a prolonged stay last year in Samsun, and which represent predominantly the dialect of a village situate east from Samsun But in order to secure simplicity in the phonetic transcription a peculiarity of the pronunciation has been left unticed, viz. That an initial tenuis after a preceding nasal is sometimes prounced as a voiceless media (or also fortis): this I must reserve for detailed investigation on some other occasion.
