  • TOMASZ FRASZCZYK Greeklish – on the Influence of New
    TOMASZ FRASZCZYK Greeklish – on the Influence of New Communication Technologies and New Media on the Development of Contemporary Greek KEY WORDS Greeklish, Greece, language, writing, media ABSTRACT The growing importance of English in the Western cultural circle is also an issue in the countries of the Mediterranean Sea. Research in the region shows that with the increasing popularity of electronic communication, especially with the use of SMS, the development of new media and the market offensive of social media like Facebook and Twitter, Greek is influenced not only by English, but also by Latinization, a process which has been termed Greeklish. The article presents a short history of Greek, as an introduction to its current development in the context of Greeklish. Its characteristics and origins in Greek writing are illustrated with the most representative examples from press, television and internet sites, along with typologies. The research outcome of documenting different aspects of using Greeklish have been discussed, as well as the most important issues in discussions taking place in Greece on possible consequences of this phenomenon on the development of Greek. The growing importance of English in countries of the Western culture is a phenomenon, which has also influenced the region of the Mediterranean Sea, among it Greece and Cyprus. The Anglicisation of the Greek language, but also of Polish, takes place by including English words in common, everyday use (e.g. weekend, lunch), structural borrowings1 or giving proper names in English (e.g. “Sea Towers” in Gdynia or “Wiśniowy Business Park” in Warsaw), and is only a certain element of the transformation process of contemporary Greek.

  • The Case of Cyprus*
    Perceptions of difference in the Greek sphere The case of Cyprus* Marina Terkourafi University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Cypriot Greek has been cited as “the last surviving Modern Greek dialect” (Con- tossopoulos 1969:92, 2000:21), and differences between it and Standard Modern Greek are often seen as seriously disruptive of communication by Mainland and Cypriot Greeks alike. This paper attempts an anatomy of the linguistic ‘differ- ence’ of the Cypriot variety of Greek. By placing this in the wider context of the history of Cypriot Greek, the study and current state of other Modern Greek dia- lects, and state and national ideology in the two countries, Greece and Cyprus, it is possible to identify both diachronic and synchronic, as well as structural and ideological factors as constitutive of this difference. Keywords: Modern Greek dialects, language attitudes, ideology, identity, Cypriot Greek 1. Introduction: Gauging the difference A question frequently asked of the linguist who studies the Cypriot variety of Greek is “Why is Cypriot Greek so different?”1 The sheer phrasing of this question betrays some of its implicit assumptions: ‘different’ being a two-place predicate, the designation of Cypriot Greek as ‘different’ points to the existence of a second term to which Cypriot Greek is being implicitly compared. This second term is, of course, Standard Modern Greek (henceforth SMG), which, nevertheless, being ‘Standard,’ also represents the norm — or, if you prefer, the yardstick — by which divergences are measured. As Matsuda (1991, cited in Lippi Green 1997:59) points out, “[w]hen the parties are in a relationship of domination and subordination, we tend to say that the dominant is normal, and the subordinate is different from normal” (emphasis added).

    Pragmatics 19:3.393-412 (2009) International Pragmatics Association GRAPHEMIC REPRESENTATION OF TEXT-MESSAGING: ALPHABET-CHOICE AND CODE-SWITCHES IN GREEK SMS Tereza Spilioti1 Abstract The aim of this study is to investigate the choice of alphabetical encoding in Greek text-messaging (or Short Message Service, SMS). The analysis will be based on a corpus of 447 text-messages exchanged among participants who belong to the age group of ‘youth’ (15-25 years old) and live in Athens (Greece). The data analysis will show that the standard practice of writing with Greek characters represents the norm in Greek SMS. The script norm will be discussed in relation to the medium’s technological affordances and the participants’ stance towards new media. The analysis will then focus on non-standard graphemic choices, such as the use of both, Greek and Roman, alphabets in the encoding of single messages. It will be demonstrated that such marked choices are employed as a means of indexing the participants’ affiliation with global popular cultures and enhancing expressivity in a medium of reduced paralinguistic cues. Keywords: Text-messaging; Computer-mediated communication research; Graphemic practices; Writing norms; Global-local. 1. Introduction Mobile phones have secured a place among the global cultural commodities of our era. The variety of languages available in the menu of a common mobile handset is indicative of the wide array of cultures which have received this global device. The omnipresence of mobile telephony worldwide is also evident in Katz and Aakhus’ (2002) collective volume of studies on mobile phone use in a number of countries, including Finland, Korea, United States, Bulgaria, Israel, etc.

  • The Dead Hand of Philology and the Archaeologies of Reading in Greece
    VANGELIS CALOTYCHOS The dead hand of Philology and the archaeologies of reading in Greece ‘The doctrine of the establishment of a pure text as a pre-con- dition for serious work (a pre-condition that is never fulfilled, as each generation finds reason for dissatisfaction with a text), strongly resembles, and is probably derived from, the dead hand of classical studies of a now (fortunately) almost extinct type’.

  • NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, and ETHNO-REGIONALISM in PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING by IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in Parti
    NOSTALGIA, EMOTIONALITY, AND ETHNO-REGIONALISM IN PONTIC PARAKATHI SINGING BY IOANNIS TSEKOURAS DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Musicology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Donna A. Buchanan, Chair Professor Emeritus Thomas Turino Professor Gabriel Solis Professor Maria Todorova ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the multilayered connections between music, emotionality, social and cultural belonging, collective memory, and identity discourse. The ethnographic case study for the examination of all these relations and aspects is the Pontic muhabeti or parakathi. Parakathi refers to a practice of socialization and music making that is designated insider Pontic Greek. It concerns primarily Pontic Greeks or Pontians, the descendants of the 1922 refugees from Black Sea Turkey (Gr. Pontos), and their identity discourse of ethno-regionalism. Parakathi references nightlong sessions of friendly socialization, social drinking, and dialogical participatory singing that take place informally in coffee houses, taverns, and households. Parakathi performances are reputed for their strong Pontic aesthetics, traditional character, rich and aesthetically refined repertoire, and intense emotionality. Singing in parakathi performances emerges spontaneously from verbal socialization and emotional saturation. Singing is described as a confessional expression of deeply personal feelings

  • Romanization of Greek 1 Romanization of Greek
    Romanization of Greek 1 Romanization of Greek Romanization of Greek is the representation of Greek language texts, that are usually written in the Greek alphabet, with the Latin alphabet, or a system for doing so. There are several methods for the romanization of Greek, especially depending on whether the language written with Greek letters is Ancient Greek or Modern Greek and whether a phonetic transcription or a graphemic transliteration is intended. The conventional rendering of classical Greek names in English originates in the way Latin represented Greek loanwords in antiquity. The ⟨κ⟩ is replaced with ⟨c⟩, the diphthongs ⟨αι⟩ and ⟨οι⟩ are rendered as ⟨ae⟩ and ⟨oe⟩ (or ⟨æ, œ⟩); and ⟨ει⟩ and ⟨ου⟩ are simplified to ⟨i⟩ and ⟨u⟩. In modern scholarly transliteration of Ancient Greek, ⟨κ⟩ will instead be rendered as ⟨k⟩, and the vowel combinations ⟨αι, οι, ει, ου⟩ as ⟨ai, oi, ei, ou⟩ respectively. The letters ⟨θ⟩ and ⟨φ⟩ are generally rendered as ⟨th⟩ and ⟨ph⟩; ⟨χ⟩ as either ⟨ch⟩ or ⟨kh⟩; and word-initial ⟨ρ⟩ as ⟨rh⟩. For Modern Greek, there are multiple different transcription conventions. They differ widely, depending on their purpose, on how close they stay to the conventional letter correspondences of Ancient Greek–based transcription systems, and to what degree they attempt either an exact letter-by-letter transliteration or rather a phonetically based transcription. Standardized formal transcription systems have been defined by the International Organization for Standardization (as ISO 843), by the United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names, by the Library of Congress, and others. The different systems can create confusion.

Abstract: Mining social web text has been at the heart of the Natural Language Processing and Data Mining research community in the last 15 years. Though most of the reported work is on widely spoken languages, such as English, the significance of approaches that deal with less commonly spoken languages, such as Greek, is evident for reasons of preserving and documenting minority languages, cultural and ethnic diversity, and identifying intercultural similarities and differences. The present work aims at identifying, documenting and comparing social text data sets, as well as mining techniques and applications on social web text that target Modern Greek, focusing on the arising challenges and the potential for future research in the specific less widely spoken language.

  • Mapping Greek-Australian Literature: a Re­ Evaluation in the Context of the Literature of the Greek Diaspora
    Études helléniques / Hellenic Studies Mapping Greek-Australian Literature: a re­ evaluation in the context of the literature of the Greek diaspora John Va silakak.os * RÉSUMÉ La présente étude se propose (a) d'examiner les plus importants problèmes théoriques et pratiques ainsi que les problématiques rencontrées lors de l'étude de la littérature grecque moderne de la diaspora (LGMD) et (b) de tracer un bref portrait de la littérature gréco-australienne. La présente étude soucient que la LGMD n'a pas été étudiée adéquatement en rai­ son de la nature complexe de ce phénomème et du désaccord parmi les universitaires sur une définition communément admise de la LGMD. Aussi longtemps que de celles disputes sur des termes et des concepts dès (tels "Hellénisme", "Grecité", "tra­ dition" etc.) continuent d'exister, une définition satisfaisante de la LGMD va égale­ ment continuer de rester pendante. Pour ce qui est de la littérature gréco-australienne, la présence étude avance que la littérature helléphone a été une de plus dynamiques parmi les littératures minori­ taires de l'Australie. Cependant, malgré cette floraison, l'arrêt de la migration mas­ sive quelques 20 années auparavant et du décès des immigrants Grecs de la première génération, la littérature gréco-australienne a subi un retrecissement continuel. Dans quelques années il est probable qu'il n'y ait plus beaucoup d'auteurs écrivant en langue grecque, les Grecs de la deuxième et de la troisième générations écrivant uniquement en anglais. Cependant, ces écrivains d'origine grecque écrivant en anglais jouent un rôle de premier plan dans le développement de la littérature aus­ tralienne locale et beaucoup d'entre eux figurent parmi les meilleurs auteurs Aus­ traliens.

    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 3 No. 19; November 2013 Greeklish/Greenglish: The Advent and Popularization of an e-Language through Social Networking, Social Media and Telecommunication Technologies Andrew Laghos Department of Multimedia and Graphic Arts Cyprus University of Technology Limassol, Cyprus Sophia Masoura Patient Care Manager, iMER Nicosia, Cyprus Athina Skordi Department of English Studies University of Cyprus Nicosia, Cyprus Abstract The purpose of this research was to investigate a recent phenomenon of the written Greek Language which appears when human communication occurs through social media and other digitally-mediated communication technologies. Greeklish, the Greek Language written using Latin characters, is said to have begun when Short Message Service (SMS) became available on mobile phones. The initial reasoning was that most of the phones came already setup in the English language, the Greek language option was not always available, and/or the switch between the languages took too many steps. The objective of this study was to find out the extent of the use of Greeklish in our society today through a case study and comparisons with other studies. Results show a very high use of Greeklish in all cases where technology was involved, while conclusions attribute this to be due to a conscious decision for convenience rather than just a technological constraint. Keywords: Social Media, Social Networking, Telecommunication Technologies, Greeklish, Greenglish 1. Introduction Greek is the official language of Greece and Cyprus and uses the Greek alphabet. It is estimated that the Greek alphabet has been in use since the eighth century BC and although there were debates regarding the establishment of either ‘Demotic’ (closer to the everyday language used by most of the population) or ‘Katharevousa’ (closer to ancient Greek), the Greek writing system had not undergone significant changes since ancient times, while the Greek alphabet served as a national symbol (Spilioti, 2009).

Sophia Masoura Patient Care Manager, iMER Nicosia, Cyprus. Athina Skordi Department of English Studies University of Cyprus Nicosia, Cyprus. Abstract The purpose of this study was to investigate language use in the multimedia social network website Youtube.com. In particular, we wanted to investigate the extent of the use of Greeklish (Greek Language written in Latin characters instead of the Greek alphabet) in our society today. Greeklish began when SMS services became available on mobile phones and the initial reasoning was that most of the phones came already setup in English, the Greek language option was not always available, and/or the switch between the languages took too many steps. Using computers however, the languages can be switched with a 2-button keyboard shortcut. The data collection included the analysis of 1000 user comments on Greek videos in Youtube. The results show that 84% of the messages were written in Greeklish. Our conclusions indicate that in addition to the technology, the informal nature of Greeklish itself also contributes to its widespread use. Keywords: Social Networks, Communication, Linguistics, Youtube, Multimedia 1. Introduction This study explores Language use in the Multimedia Social Network website Youtube.com. Since the globalization and popularization of the Internet, people have increasingly been using computers to communicate with each other.
