Prerequisites:
Course contents:
This seminar follows thought on the Greek or Modern Greek language from the mid-18th
century up until the late 20th century. Reflection on language is related to issues of collective
identity that were initially raised with a view to constituting the Greek nation in modernity.

Placing a Modern Greek state in Europe, dealing with the Ancient Greek heritage, shaping
education and the public sphere were the main questions to which varying answers were
given, both over the course of historical time and at any given historical moment. Ideological
issues aside, though also in conjunction with them, interest lies in the cognitive background to
answers; in other words, attitudes to language in general, which change over the course of
time along with the establishment of linguistics as an academic discipline.

the interaction of perception and production, the prosodic and segmental approaches, the
