306 Paola CECCARELLI, Ancient Greek Letter Writing. a Cultural
306 COMPTES RENDUS Paola CECCARELLI, Ancient Greek Letter Writing. A Cultural History (600 BC- 150 BC). Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2013. 1 vol., 464 p. Prix: 95 £. ISBN 978- 0-19-967559. The aim of this monumental study is not only to contextualise Greek letter writing betWEEn 600 and 150 BC within communicative practices, but also to look at docu- mentary letters and letters Embedded in a narrative. An important part of Ceccarelli’s bibliography focusEs on lEttErs of the Classical and HEllEnistic period. ThE book starts with discussing somE problems related with ancient epistolography, such as typology of lEttErs, or anciEnt GrEEk tErminology (p. 1-19). ThE author points out in thE sEcond chapter (p. 23-58) that letter writing, as a communication across a spatial distance was not among thE earliest uses of Greek writing. Examining thE oldEst extant documEn- tary letters (she counts 42 letters that have been preserved), the author arguEs that for thE fifth and EvEn partly thE fourth cEntury BC it is impossible to spEak of a codified epistolary style. A survey of (contemporary) curses shows the original affinity between both curses and letters. In the next chaptEr (p. 59-99), CEccarElli analysEs thE traditions on the invEntion of writing. The early narratives that represent writing as an import from outside the GreEk World, did not focus on the function of this new art, whereas the traditions that attributed the invEntion to a Greek hEro, pointed to the ability of the written word to preservE information or to its potential for creativity. FurthEr, the author goes on to discuss storiEs that date from the classical pEriod and deal With the difficultiEs of Epistolary communication.

Part 1: Introduction to The
PREVIEW OF THE IPA HANDBOOK Handbook of the International Phonetic Association: A guide to the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet PARTI Introduction to the IPA 1. What is the International Phonetic Alphabet? The aim of the International Phonetic Association is to promote the scientific study of phonetics and the various practical applications of that science. For both these it is necessary to have a consistent way of representing the sounds of language in written form. From its foundation in 1886 the Association has been concerned to develop a system of notation which would be convenient to use, but comprehensive enough to cope with the wide variety of sounds found in the languages of the world; and to encourage the use of thjs notation as widely as possible among those concerned with language. The system is generally known as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Both the Association and its Alphabet are widely referred to by the abbreviation IPA, but here 'IPA' will be used only for the Alphabet. The IPA is based on the Roman alphabet, which has the advantage of being widely familiar, but also includes letters and additional symbols from a variety of other sources. These additions are necessary because the variety of sounds in languages is much greater than the number of letters in the Roman alphabet. The use of sequences of phonetic symbols to represent speech is known as transcription. The IPA can be used for many different purposes. For instance, it can be used as a way to show pronunciation in a dictionary, to record a language in linguistic fieldwork, to form the basis of a writing system for a language, or to annotate acoustic and other displays in the analysis of speech.

Classroom Activity 2 Math 113 The Dating Game Introduction: Disclaimer: Although this is called the “Dating Game”, it is merely intended to help the student gain understanding of the concept of Standard Deviation. It is not intended to help students find dates. The day after Thanksgiving, 1996, I was driving my sister, Conversion Table brother-in-law, and sister-in-law over to meet my brother in A=1 K=11 U=21 Springfield at the Mission where he and his wife helped out. B=2 L=12 V=22 During this drive, I ask my sister, “How do you know which C=3 M=13 W=23 woman is the right one for you?”. Now, my sister was born D=4 N=14 X=24 a Jones, and like the rest of the family, she can make E=5 O=15 Y=25 anything sound believable. Without missing a beat, she F=6 P=16 Z=26 said, “You take the letters in her name, convert them to G=7 Q=17 numbers, find the standard deviation, and whoever’s H=8 R=18 standard deviation is closest to yours is the woman for you.” I=9S=19 I was so proud of my sister, that was a really good answer. J=10 T=20 Then, she followed it up with “Actually, if you can find a woman who knows what a standard deviation is, that’s the woman for you.” The first part was easy, take each letter in your name and convert it to a number.

Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph
Psalms 119 & the Hebrew Aleph Bet - Part 17 The seventeenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet is called “Pey” (sounds like “pay”). It has the sound of “p” as in “park”. Pey has the numeric value of 80. In modern Hebrew, the letter Pey can appear in three forms: Writing the Letter: Pey Note: Most people draw the Pey in two strokes, as shown. The dot, or “dagesh” mark means the pey makes the “p” sound, as in “park”. Note: The sole difference between the letter Pey and the letter Fey is the presence or absence of the dot in the middle of the letter (called a dagesh mark). When you see the dot in the middle of this letter, pronounce it as a "p"; otherwise, pronounce it as "ph" (or “f”). Five Hebrew letters are formed differently when they appear as the last letter of a word (these forms are sometimes called "sofit" (pronounced "so-feet") forms). Fortunately, the five letters sound the same as their non-sofit cousins, so you do not have to learn any new sounds (or transliterations). The Pey (pronounced “Fey” sofit has a descending tail, as shown on the left. Pey: The Mouth, or Word The pictograph for Pey looks something like a mouth, whereas the classical Hebrew script (Ketav Ashurit) is constructed of a Kaf with an ascending Yod: Notice the “hidden Bet” within the letter Pey. This shape of the letter is required when a Torah scribe writes Torah scrolls, or mezzuzahs. From the Canaanite pictograph, the letter morphed into the Phoenician ketav Ivri, to the Greek letter (Pi), which became the Latin letter “P.” means “mouth” and by extension, “word,” “expression,” “vocalization,” and “speech”.

Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (As They Appear in Geography)
1 Vigleik Leira (Norway): [email protected] Alphabets, Letters and Diacritics in European Languages (as they appear in Geography) To the best of my knowledge English seems to be the only language which makes use of a "clean" Latin alphabet, i.d. there is no use of diacritics or special letters of any kind. All the other languages based on Latin letters employ, to a larger or lesser degree, some diacritics and/or some special letters. The survey below is purely literal. It has nothing to say on the pronunciation of the different letters. Information on the phonetic/phonemic values of the graphic entities must be sought elsewhere, in language specific descriptions. The 26 letters a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z may be considered the standard European alphabet. In this article the word diacritic is used with this meaning: any sign placed above, through or below a standard letter (among the 26 given above); disregarding the cases where the resulting letter (e.g. å in Norwegian) is considered an ordinary letter in the alphabet of the language where it is used. Albanian The alphabet (36 letters): a, b, c, ç, d, dh, e, ë, f, g, gj, h, i, j, k, l, ll, m, n, nj, o, p, q, r, rr, s, sh, t, th, u, v, x, xh, y, z, zh. Missing standard letter: w. Letters with diacritics: ç, ë. Sequences treated as one letter: dh, gj, ll, rr, sh, th, xh, zh.

The Purported Letter of Darius to Gadates
THE PURPORTED LETTER OF DARIUS TO GADATES This letter, which was found inscribed on a marble corner-block from a wall at Deirmendjik on the road from Magnesia on the Maeander to Tralles, has been accepted by most scholars as a genuine translation into Greek from a Persian original'). Some have, however, doubted its authenticity, most thoroughly M. v. 2 den Hout ). I accept his opinion, but what in my opinion is the strongest case for regarding the letter as a forgery is the fact that during Darius' reign the greatest sanctuary of Apollo in Asia Minor, the temple at Didyma, was burnt down by 3 Xerxes ). This fact corresponds very badlr with the traditional Persian religious toleration and especially with I. 28-29 0 the letter: ö,; llEQom,; dm: [nä]oav Cl'tQExE[L]av xaL ']:1). So the problem and subject of this paper is: Who wrote the original version of this letter which contains so strong an irony of Darius and Xerxes and their attitude towards Apollo? What the editors have uttered as ex planation of the conflagration and the inconsistency with the above mentioned lines of the letter does not convince me'). The suggestions made by some scholars that JtEL8aQXELv e. gen. of I. 5-8 and the word Cl'tQExE[L]av of I. 29 could imply an older Ionic text as the original are S convincingly refuted by van den Hout ). But as a date for the forgery some time 1) Editio princeps: G. Cousin-Go Deschamps, Lettre de Darius, fils d'Hys taspes, BCH 13 (1889) 529-542; SIG 22; U.

Discovering a Purpose in a Listening Democracy: The People’s Voice in 1930s/40s America By Celeste Nunez Abstract: From the 1930s through the mid-1940s, the people of America witnessed two of the most traumatic events in American history, the Great Depression and Second World War. During these two decades, the people turned to radio as their form of “escape” allowing them to forget about the events happening around them. Radio culture in America began to explode with nearly twenty-eight million households owning a radio by the end of 1939. Franklin Delano Roosevelt utilized this technology to reach out to the American people and discuss the events occurring not only around the world but also in their bacKyards. Franklin Delano Roosevelt served as President of the United States from 1933 until his death in 1945.

The Greek Alphabet Sight and Sounds of the Greek Letters (Module B) the Letters and Pronunciation of the Greek Alphabet 2 Phonology (Part 2)
The Greek Alphabet Sight and Sounds of the Greek Letters (Module B) The Letters and Pronunciation of the Greek Alphabet 2 Phonology (Part 2) Lesson Two Overview 2.0 Introduction, 2-1 2.1 Ten Similar Letters, 2-2 2.2 Six Deceptive Greek Letters, 2-4 2.3 Nine Different Greek Letters, 2-8 2.4 History of the Greek Alphabet, 2-13 Study Guide, 2-20 2.0 Introduction Lesson One introduced the twenty-four letters of the Greek alphabet. Lesson Two continues to present the building blocks for learning Greek phonics by merging vowels and consonants into syllables. Furthermore, this lesson underscores the similarities and dissimilarities between the Greek and English alphabetical letters and their phonemes. Almost without exception, introductory Greek grammars launch into grammar and vocabulary without first firmly grounding a student in the Greek phonemic system. This approach is appropriate if a teacher is present. However, it is little help for those who are “going at it alone,” or a small group who are learning NTGreek without the aid of a teacher’s pronunciation. This grammar’s introductory lessons go to great lengths to present a full-orbed pronunciation of the Erasmian Greek phonemic system. Those who are new to the Greek language without an instructor’s guidance will welcome this help, and it will prepare them to read Greek and not simply to translate it into their language. The phonic sounds of the Greek language are required to be carefully learned. A saturation of these sounds may be accomplished by using the accompanying MP3 audio files.
