Will and Mary Part 9

Eng/gr
Is the alphabet of every culture and language an abstract one, based on agreement,
or is depicting the man's perception of the environment/ the "cosmos" around him?
What do the ΑΒΓ letters in Greek symbolize? Is there a specific object or good of man's daily life behind each letter's depiction? What is the meaning of it?
The Greek alphabet, which is the basis for the English word "alphabet," was adopted from the Phoenicians and is not directly based on a symbolic representation of objects or the cosmos for each letter, though the shapes have evolved from earlier symbolic scripts.

Είναι το αλφάβητο κάθε πολιτισμού και κάθε γλώσσας κάτι αφηρημένο, βασισμένο σε κάποια συμφωνία/σύμβαση ή απεικονίζει την πρόσληψη του ανθρώπου για το περιβάλλον/τον κόσμο γύρω του?
Τι συμβολίζουν τα γράμματα ΑΒΓ στα Ελληνικά; Μήπως πίσω από κάποιο γράμμα βρίσκεται κάποια απεικόνιση κάποιου συγκεκριμένου αντικειμένου από την καθημερινότητα του ανθρώπου; Ποια η σημασία του;
Το ελληνικό αλφάβητο, η βάση για την αγγλική λέξη «alphabet», προέρχεται από το Φοινικικό αλφάβητο και, αν και δεν βασίζεται άμεσα σε μια συμβολική αναπαράσταση το ίδιο, τα σχήματα των γραμμάτων του αποτελούν εξέλιξη παλαιότερων συμβολικών γραφών.

The Greek Podcast

*Episode 1 ~ The origins of the Greek Alphabet

When you read regularly, you’re constantly encountering new words. The great thing about newspapers and magazines is that they use language that is relevant and current. This isn’t a textbook full of outdated phrases—you’re learning words and expressions that people actually use in everyday conversation. Studies have shown that extensive reading helps expand vocabulary knowledge faster than explicit vocabulary instruction.
