Description:
This is a one-week introduction to the Modern Greek language directed
at graduate and undergraduate students, as well as interested faculty,
who have at least a basic knowledge of the Ancient Greek language. The
major objective of the program is to equip classicists with knowledge
they can use to leverage their command of Classical Greek to gain a
foothold in the modern language, essentially repurposing their
Classical Greek for Modern Greek. Furthermore, the program explores
the diachrony of Greek and familiarizes students with the continuities
and discontinuities across time of the Greek language.
