The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

The first conference was organised in Athens, Greece, in 2006, under the auspices of ISCA and the University of Athens and is regularly repeated thereafter. In accordance with the spirit of this ExLing 2016 conference, we were once again gathered in Saint Petersburg to continue our discussion on the directions of linguistic research and the use of experimental methodologies in order to gain theoretical and interdisciplinary knowledge. We are happy to see that our initial attempt has gained ground and is becoming an established forum of a new generation of linguists. As in our previous conferences, our colleagues are coming from a variety of different parts of the world and we wish them a rewarding exchange of scientific achievements and expertise. This is indeed the core of the ExLing conferences, which promote new ideas and methodologies in an international context. We would like to thank our keynote speakers Gerard Bailly, OliverNiebuhr, Philippe Martin and Yi Xu and all participants for their contributions as well as ISCA and the University of Saint Petersburg.

  • LA SITUACION LINGUISTICA EN GRECIA. PROBLEMAS Y PERSPECTIVAS' Pedro BADENAS DE LA PENA C.S.I.C
    LA SITUACION LINGUISTICA EN GRECIA. PROBLEMAS Y PERSPECTIVAS' Pedro BADENAS DE LA PENA C.S.I.C. Madrid El proceso de una integración económica, política y cultural europea, derivado del actual grado de desarrollo de la CEE, está permitiendo que asistamos a un redescubrimiento de la gran complejidad que se esconde tras el fácil, e inexacto, cliché de la supuesta "homogeneidad" eurooccidental. En primer lugar, conviene ya relegar el concepto de "occidental" para lo que realmente denota, una mera distribución geográfica. Su extensión a otros terrenos no deja de ser una manipulación semántica, más o menos interesada. Si por algo se caracteriza Europa es por ser un mosaico lingüístico, surgido y moldeado históricamente por tres culturas diferenciadas -latina, germánica y eslava- pero procedentes de una cepa común: el mundo grecorromano. Este pasado esencial de lo que podríamos llamar civilización europea es, ya en su misma raíz, doble. El carácter dual del Imperio Romano obedecía, entre otras razones, a una división lingüística: uso del latín en la pars Occidentis y del griego en la pars Orientis, división que se ahondaría desde la Alta Edad Media cuando definitivamente Roma y Bizancio se conviertan en focos opuestos de irradiación cultural. La función civilizadora de la lengua griega (v. mapa 1) condicionó decisivamente, a través de Bizancio, a los pueblos eslavos, pero de manera muy distinta a como actuó el latín en Occidente. El resultado más evidente lo tenemos en la fragmentación románica, mientras que el griego no llegó a ese proceso y permaneció como área lingüísitica unitaria. Dentro del ámbito lingüístico indoeuropeo -en Europa- el griego, como el aibanés, no han dado, pues, lugar a nuevas lenguas.

Muller The Ohio State University Cypriot Greek contrasts singleton and geminate consonants in word-initial position. These segments are of particular interest to phonologists since two divergent representational frameworks, moraic theory (Hayes 1989) and timing-based frameworks, including CV or X-slot theory (Clements and Keyser 1983, Levin 1985), account for the behavior of initial geminates in substantially different ways. The investigation of geminates in Cypriot Greek allows these differences to be explored. As will be demonstrated in a formal analysis of the facts, the patterning of geminates in Cypriot is best accounted for by assuming that the segments are dominated by abstract timing units such as X- or C-slots, rather than by a unit of prosodic weight such as the mora. Keywords: geminates, representation, phonology, Cypriot Greek 1. Introduction Cypriot Greek is of particular interest, not only because it is one of the few varieties of Modern Greek maintaining a consonant length contrast, but more importantly because it exhibits this contrast in word-initial position: péfti ‘Thursday’ vs. ppéfti ‘he falls’.Although word-initial geminates are less common than their word-medial counterparts, they are attested in dozens of the world’s languages in addition to Cypriot Greek.

  • Cypriot Speech Database: Data Collection and Greek to Cypriot Dialect Adaptation
    Cypriot Speech Database: Data Collection and Greek to Cypriot Dialect Adaptation Nikos Fakotakis Wire Communications Laboratory Electrical and Computer Engineering Dept. University of Patras 265 00 Rion, Patras, Greece [email protected] Abstract This paper describes the Cypriot Greek speech database collected in the framework of the European project OrienTel (IST-2000- 28373) and the acoustic models adaptation techniques that were applied in order to perform dialect adaptation from Greek to Cypriot. Greek and Cypriot Greek share the same phoneme set. However, there are some differences in the way the same phonemes are pronounced. That is, Cypriot Greek may be considered as a variation of standard Greek. Utterances from 500 speakers are used (450 for training, that is, performing adaptation, and 50 as testing material). Two tools are available for training, adaptation and evaluation of the acoustic models. These are the Wire Communications Laboratory (WCL) recognition tool and the Hidden Markov Models toolkit (HTK). For both recognition engines Greek acoustic models were already available using the SpeechDat-II Greek telephone database. Two well-known techniques are applied for adapting the Greek acoustic models to the new data: Maximum Likelihood Linear Regression (MLLR) and Maximum A-Posteriori (MAP) adaptation. Pure Cypriot Greek models are also trained using only the Cypriot Greek database, to be compared with the adapted ones. Preliminary results show a small improvement in the performance of the adapted models over the pure Greek and Cypriot Greek models. Introduction with 500 recordings of Cypriot Greek, that is utterances The goal of this work is to describe the Cypriot Greek taken from 500 Cypriot speakers.

  • Linguistic Practices in Cyprus and the Emergence of Cypriot Standard Greek*
    San Diego Linguistic Papers 2 (2006) 1-24 LINGUISTIC PRACTICES IN CYPRUS AND THE EMERGENCE OF CYPRIOT STANDARD GREEK* Amalia Arvaniti University of California, San Diego ----------------------------------------------- In Cyprus today systematic changes affecting all levels of linguistic analysis are observed in the use of Standard Greek, giving rise to a distinct linguistic variety which can be called Cypriot Standard Greek. The changes can be attributed to the influence of English and Cypriot Greek (the local linguistic variety), and to the increasing use of the Standard in semi-formal occasions. Equally important is the reluctance to recognize the diglossic situation on the island (in which Standard Greek is the H variety and Cypriot Greek the L), for political and ideological reasons. This in turn means that the attention of the Cypriot speakers is not drawn to the differences between Standard Greek as spoken in Greece and their usage of it; thus the differences become gradually consolidated, while the users remain unaware of them. ----------------------------------------------- 1 Introduction The past two decades have seen a proliferation of scholarly work on the linguistic situation in Cyprus. This body of work is concerned with several topics, such as the speakers’ awareness of the linguistic varieties spoken on the island (e.g., Karyolemou & * This paper is a companion to Arvaniti (this volume b). Although the papers compliment each other, they are written in such a way that each can be read independently of the other; for this reason, some introductory sections (e.g. the historical background) show a degree of overlap. The bulk of the data in this article was gathered in Cyprus from 1996 to 2001, with additional data collected since then using a variety of web resources.

  • The Displacement, Extinction and Genocide of the Pontic Greeks. 1916-1923
    H-War The Displacement, Extinction and Genocide of the Pontic Greeks. 1916-1923. Discussion published by Jesko Banneitz on Monday, February 1, 2016 Type: Conference Date: February 25, 2016 to February 26, 2016 Location: Germany Subject Fields: Area Studies, Holocaust, Genocide, and Memory Studies, Islamic History / Studies, Nationalism History / Studies, Political History / Studies "The Displacement, Extinction and Genocide of the Pontic Greeks. 1916-1923." International Conference Berlin, Germany 25/26 February 2016 Over the last years, the genocide committed against the Armenians has received more and more scientific and popular attention. Thanks to a growing number of international scientists devoted to the elucidation and reappraisal of the Armenian-Ottoman past the historical processes leading to the extinction of the majority of the Armenian population within the Ottoman Empire have been traced and investigated. However, as recent international research has emphasized, the Armenian genocide by the Young-Turkish government has to be understood as only one chapter of an overall campaign of the Young-Turkish and Kemalist government against the non-Muslim (and later non-Turkish) communities. Besides the Armenians, particularly Greek communities in Asia Minor were affected most in terms of forced migration and atrocities, committed in the interests of specific Young-Turkish and Kemalist visions of the Ottoman space between 1913 and 1923. In this regard, the governmental campaign reached its violent climax in the genocide of the Greek communities in the Pontic area at the shores of the Black Sea. Albeit the killing of the Pontic Greek has become increasingly prominent in Anglo-American historical research, it still continues to be a desideratum within the European field of research.

Fine, Co-Chair Professor Fatma Müge Göçek Professor Mary Kelley Professor Rudi Lindner Barbara Reeves-Ellington, University of Oxford © Nevila Pahumi 2016 For my family ii Acknowledgements This project has come to life thanks to the support of people on both sides of the Atlantic. It is now the time and my great pleasure to acknowledge each of them and their efforts here. My long-time advisor John Fine set me on this path. John’s recovery, ten years ago, was instrumental in directing my plans for doctoral study. My parents, like many well-intended first generation immigrants before and after them, wanted me to become a different kind of doctor. Indeed, I made a now-broken promise to my father that I would follow in my mother’s footsteps, and study medicine. But then, I was his daughter, and like him, I followed my own dream. When made, the choice was not easy. But I will always be grateful to John for the years of unmatched guidance and support. In graduate school, I had the great fortune to study with outstanding teacher-scholars. It is my committee members whom I thank first and foremost: Pamela Ballinger, John Fine, Rudi Lindner, Müge Göcek, Mary Kelley, and Barbara Reeves-Ellington.
