More on Diagramming Greek Accent Placement

I’ve put together slides and a voice-over to further explain Greek accent placement from a moraic point-of-view.

After posting Diagramming Greek Accent Placement, a couple of people asked me to unpack the second diagram, so I put together a series of slides with a view to perhaps doing a voice-over to accompany them.

I put the slides up at https://www.academia.edu/29725241/Basic_Greek_Accentuation and immediately got a suggestion to do a voice-over.

Here’s the resultant video:

at the intersection of computing, linguistics, philology, and learning science

By day I’m an entrepreneur, web technologist and open-source developer but my academic background is in linguistics (along with some classics, comparative philology, and educational statistics) and my main avocation is working on text, annotations, analysis and software relating to historical languages with a particular interest in facilitating better learning.

While my focus has mostly been on Biblical Greek, much of the work is highly relevant to other Hellenistic Greek texts, other dialects of Ancient Greek and, indeed, texts in completely different languages as well.
