  26. Phonemes • From Greek – fonh (sound, voice • A sound represented by a letter • Big / pig • Exomen – We have • Exwmen – Let us have

  27. Morphemes • From Greek morfh (reference to form) • Smallest unit of meaning in any given language • letter / couple of letters that make 1 sound • The apostle talks to the people. • The apostle talked to the people. • luw – I loose • lusw – I shall loose • pistoV – faithful • apistoV - unfaithful

  28. Vowels • Seven Vowels: a – alpha e – epsilon i – iota o - omicron u – upsilon w - omega

  29. Diphthongs When two vowels combine to make one sound, it is called a dipthong. There are seven dipthongs in Greek:

  30. Consonants • Consonants produced by interfering with the flow of air from the lungs. • Classified three ways: • How one interferes with the flow • Manner of articulation • Where one interferes with the flow • Place of articulation • Whether the vocal chords vibrate in producing the sound

  31. Consonants • Manner Of Articulation • Involves either: • Complete interruption of flow of air • Incomplete restriction of flow of air • Stops (b , d) • Continuances (f, q) • Place Of Articulation • At the lips - m, p • At or just behind the teeth – dentals -d, t • At the palate – gutturals (g, k)

  32. Consonants • Four Sibilants • “s” sounds z, x, s, y Three with double letters – z, x, y • Three Aspirates • letters combined with an “h” Q, f, c • Four Nasals • Breath passes through the nose (liquids) L, m, n, r

  33. Breathing Marks • The rough breathing is pronounced like an "h", and looks like a backwards comma written over a vowel. • The smooth breathing is not pronounced at all, and looks like a regular comma written over a vowel. Note the difference between "en" and "hen": • There are two marks over the epsilon in "hen"; the first is the rough breathing, the second is the accent.

  34. Greek Punctuation • Punctuation not used in ancient Greek • Most printed copies today use them. • , and . are same as English • : and ? Same in function, different in form .= : and;= ?

  35. Greek Accents • Acute ‘ • Grave ` • Circumflex • Importance is twofold: • Distinguish between identical words • ei’ means “if” • ei’ circumflex means “you are” • Which syllable is stressed
