Greek Word Order and Other Stuff

with 4 comments

Michael Whitenton over at Ecce Homo has linked to a very interesting PDF/power point on word order in Greek and Indo-European by Dag Haug. The PDF is pretty good, though I wouldn’t subscribe to all the conclusions. Do check it out: For the Über-Nerds Among Us.

As for Dag Haug, himself, I didn’t recognize the name, so I did a google search for him and the word Greek. I got some very interesting hits. The Google Books result (third below) in particular looks interesting and I think I’ll be reading through that chapter. The last one, the BNET article on the Greek Perfect might be worth reading through as well. Finally, his project site looks incredibly interesting: HERE.

    1. Thanks for the shout out, Mike! Also, thanks for doing the leg work on Dag Haug. You’ve turned up some pretty interesting stuff.

    2. Mike,

      I have an unrelated question that I thought to ask you. My keyboard with Windows is setup for both the English and Greek languages. When I switch to the Greek language I cannot find out how to incorporate breathing marks, iota subscripts, or other pronunciation marks. Neither can I get a final sigma with one keystroke. I end up searching “special characters” whenever I run across these items, which is considerably inefficient. Any wisdom you can share? I’m not very efficient on the computer. I use Open Office also.

      • Go HERE and choose the Greek keyboard you’re using (I’d suggest using Greek Polytonic since it has all the diacritics. In the popup, you can mouse over the various keys to see the other characters, particularly form Shift and Alt-Gr.
