Contenu central
Presentation
Talk to Greeks and be understood? Easy! if you know where and how to place the tonic accent. If ancient Greek is polytonic, modern Greek is monotonic: understanding and expressing yourself therefore depend on mastering your accentuation.
This handbook gives the rules and explains them, even if you have to use "learned" words like oxytons, paroxytons, proparoxytons, and so on. Henri Tonnet's numerous examples (not forgetting the exceptions) systematically bring us back to everyday life. "I speak Greek because I've learned to accentuate it: simple, isn't it?"
Author
