Countdown to the One millionth word in the English language: www.languagemonitor.com/GlobalLanguageMonitor.htmlThe TLG word index encompasses 1.2 million distinct Greek word forms out of a total of 75 million words. ijl.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/13/1/1.pdfCan you count or is it because you cannot use your fingers in the decimals ? about the word combinations heard in "my big fat greek wedding" I have to insist on the "1.2 million distinct Greek word" and I suggest to look up the word "distinct" in a dictionary.

I have seen no compelling evidence that the Greek language, as wonderful as it may be, contains 5,000,000 words.
Slowdent, your posts tend to generate some very interesting thought, so interesting that there just are no responses for them. Well done.

you have seen evidence that the Greek language has more words than English. Isn't that enough?
if you cannot talk about it just say the words......

The Albanese Honey has a point, Slowdent. Use good links, links that work, and most of all, unbiased links that provide one with good information, not links to another forum thread.
And if you are going to count a movie as a good source, then one should also believe that Greek men walk around with a spray bottle of windex all the time!

strathge the link works perfectly well. It is scientific literature, thats why it asks for login in non ac institution users....... I just realised that. "The TLG has been an invaluable resource for lexicographers and scholars who are interested in identifying forms, locating them in the texts, and analyzing their usage (Adrados 1994). The TLG word index encompasses 1.2 million distinct Greek word forms out of a total of 75 million words. With its sizeable and comprehensive data it provides lexicographers with the raw material which can help resolve reliably a number of questions, including: earliest occurrence of a word, number of occurrences, morphological variation (e.g. identification of various forms with suffixes), variation by genre, date and dialect, and identification of rare words or hapax legomena, namely words appearing once in Greek literature or a particular author. To give an appropriate example, a search in the TLG produces three occurrences of the stem lexikograph-, from which the word 'lexicographer' derives, the earliest one attested in a fragment of the historian Nymphis dated to the fourth to third centuries BC. By contrast, LSJ only provides the latest of the three instances, found in a twelfth century lexicon known as the Etymologicum Magnum." things to do: contact Maria Pantelia: Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, University of California, Irvine (3450 Berkeley Place, Irvine, CA 92697-5550) and verify ask one of the albanian scholars bragging about their academic status to check. ( I bet that suddenly all of them will be busy) ask albanian.com to buy subscription (although this might severe their anal-cranial connection) - they would have already done it if the article was dissing the Greek language. Rex used it as reference (do you actually read the postings before you answer? ?). I do not know what he believes on the matter.

Is it related to modern Greek or Old Greek (within dialects) or they mixed them altogether? (I couldn't go through that site either...sorry)

teuta TLG has already collected and digitized most literary texts written in Greek from Homer to the fall of Byzantium in AD 1453. Its goal is to create a comprehensive digital library of Greek literature from antiquity to the present era. www.tlg.uci.edu/

Thank you Slowdent. Another question if I am not a pain: when they compared English to Greek, were they referring to old English or the modern one?

Post by slowdent on Jan 17, 2008 4:34:27 GMT -5
