Και cd ROM οι αρχαίοι έλληνες!




Αρχαιοκάπηλοι υπάρχουν πλέον διαφόρων ειδών. Που τους ακούμε καθημερινά να τερατολογούν και τους ανταμείβουμε με βουλευτικά έδρανα, αφού πριν, αγοράσουμε τα βιβλία τους ή πάμε στις σχολές τους να ανακαλύψουμε ότι οι αρχαίοι έλληνες είχανε πάει στο φεγγάρι.


Τυχαίνει όμως να υπάρχει και η κυρία Marianne McDonald, αμερικανίδα ελληνίστρια καθηγήτρια κλασικών σπουδών στο πανεπιστήμιο Irvine, στην Καλιφόρνια. Στο τέλος αυτού του post μπορείτε να δείτε τους τίτλους των 222 εργασιών, βιβλίων, άρθρων κλπ. , που έχει μέχρι σήμερα δημοσιεύσει. Αν αντέχετε τον κόπο τους διαβάζετε. Την ξέρουν αρκετοί στους φιλολογικούς κύκλους της Ελλάδας, μάλιστα συνηθίζει να λαβαίνει μέρος, σχεδόν κάθε χρόνο, στο Συμπόσιο Αρχαίου Δράματος που διοργανώνεται το καλοκαίρι στους Δελφούς. Πολλοί περισσότεροι ελληνιστές την ξέρουν στο εξωτερικό. Σίγουρα χιλιάδες ασχολούμενοι με τα ελληνικά κλασικά κείμενα, ξένοι ή έλληνες, βρήκαν στο έργο της σανίδα σωτηρίας, πολλές φορές. Σίγουρα επίσης αγνοεί ακόμα και το όνομά της το 99% των φιλολόγων καθηγητών, που διδάσκουν στα σχολεία Μέσης Εκπαίδευσης της χώρας μας , όλοι εκείνοι που κατεβαίνουν όλο το χειμώνα μέχρι το Σύνταγμα για να διαδηλώσουν για κάτι ημίωρα, που τους τα άφησαν απλήρωτα. ΄Οχι για τα ιδιαίτερα που κάνουν θησαυρίζοντας, ούτε για το ότι τα παιδιά που βγάζουν είναι αγράμματα.
Θα την αγνοούσα, πιθανόν, κι εγώ, αφού σπάνια θα γράψει για αυτήν ελληνική εφημερίδα και δεν νομίζω ποτέ να την έχει δείξει κανένα κανάλι. Ενώ την Γωγώ Μαστροκώστα και τις συναδέλφισσές της τις ξερουμε όλοι. Τυχαίνει όμως να την γνωρίζω, δεδομένου ότι όσα βιβλία της εκδίδει στα ελληνικά τα εκδίδει από τις εκδόσεις "Περίπλους".
Το πρώτο cd που δεν περιείχε μουσική υπήρξε ο Ίβυκος, που δημιουργήθηκε με το ηλεκτρονικό πρόγραμμα ο TLG, που σημαίνει Thesaurus Linguae Graecae. Περιέχει τα άπαντα των ελλήνων συγγραφέων, από τον 8ο αιώνα π.Χ. μέχρι το 16ο μ.Χ αιώνα. Για να δημιουργηθεί χρειάστηκαν 28 χρόνια, από το 1972 μέχρι το 2000. Επειδή το σχεδίασε και το υλοποίησε η κ. ΜcDonald, χρειάστηκαν και τα ανάλογα χρόνια από τη ζωή της, τα καλύτερά της χρόνια δηλαδή, αφού όταν το ξεκίνησε ήταν μόλις απόφοιτη αρχαίας ελληνικής φιλολογίας.
Στον Ίβυκο περιέχονται 76 εκατομμύρια τύποι λέξεων της αρχαίας, ελληνιστικής και μεσαιωνικής ελληνικής γλώσσας σε κείμενα από τον Ομηρο μέχρι το Γεώργιο Φραντζή στην τουρκοκρατία.
Το "TLG Project" ξεκίνησε με την καθοδήγηση του καθηγητή Theodore F. Brunner, ο οποίος διηύθυνε το "TLG" από το 1972 μέχρι το 1998, οπότε συνταξιοδοτήθηκε από το Πανεπιστήμιο της Irvine. Η προσπάθεια είχε τη συμπαράσταση του David W. Packard, που με το επιτελείο του κατασκεύασαν την αναγκαία τεχνολογική υποδομή. Έπρεπε να γίνει η δουλειά από την αρχή. Δεν υπήρχε κάτι έτοιμο. Έπρεπε να γίνει δηλαδή η καταγραφή, η διόρθωση, η ανεύρεση και η επεξεργασία των αρχαίων ελληνικών κειμένων. Το πιο δύσκολο κομμάτι ήταν η εξεύρεση. Πάπυροι και περγαμηνές από ολόκληρη τη Γη φωτογραφήθηκαν και στάλθηκαν στο Πανεπιστήμιο. Τα έργα των Ελλήνων συγγραφέων έπρεπε να δακτυλογραφηθούν λέξη λέξη, καθώς η χρήση scanner δεν ήταν διαδεδομένη ακόμη.
Το αποτέλεσμα είναι έανς δίσκος 11.000 έργων και 3.000 συγγραφέων που συγκροτούν μια βάση δεδομένων 76.000.000 ξεχωριστών τύπων ελληνικών λέξεων, ένα cd 614 MB, που ο καθένας μπορεί να βάλει στο pc του και να διαβάσει όλα τα έργα των αρχαίων, ελληνιστικών, μεσαιωνικών και βυζαντινών συγγραφέων στο πρωτότυπο.'
Ετσι δημιουργήθηκε η μεγαλύτερη, ίσως, ψηφιακή τράπεζα κειμενικών δεδομένων του κόσμου, που περιέχει τα μείζονος σημασίας έργα για την ανάπτυξη της δυτικής σκέψης. Σήμερα, διευθυντική θέση στο πρόγραμμα κατέχει και μια Ελληνίδα, η καθηγήτρια κ. Μαρία Παντελιά.
Για το εγχείρημα αυτό απαιτήθηκε και ένα τεράστιο ποσό χρημάτων. Η κυρία MacDonald κατέθεσε για τον σκοπό αυτόν στο Πανεπιστήμιο με την έναρξη του προγράμματος, ένα εκατομμύριο δολλάρια. Η κυρία MacDonald τυχαίνει να είναι κόρη του ιδρυτή της πολυεθνικής εταιρείας ηλεκτρικών συσκευών Zenith. Και, όπως βλέπετε, υπήρξε και το ίδιο πλούσια και το ίδιο όμορφη με την κυρία Paris Hilton. Παρότι η τελευταία έχει κι αυτή τις σχέσεις της με την Ελλάδα, σε τίποτα άλλο δεν μοιάζουν!
Και η δουλειά άρχισε να αποδίδει καρπούς.
Κυκλοφορεί ένα κείμενο στο διαδίκτυο που το παραθέτω:

"Hellenic Quest λέγεται ένα πρόγραμμα ηλεκτρονικής εκμάθησης της Ελληνικής, που το CNN άρχισε να διανέμει παγκοσμίως, και που, σε πρώτο στάδιο, προορίζεται για αγγλόφωνους και ισπανόφωνους. Η μέθοδος διδασκαλίας συνίσταται στην προβολή πληροφοριών στην οθόνη του Η/Υ με ταυτόχρονη μετάδοση ήχου και κινούμενης εικόνας. Το πρόγραμμα παράγεται από τη γνωστή και μεγάλη εταιρία Η/Υ Apple, o Πρόεδρος της οποίας Τζον Σκάλι είπε σχετικά: Αποφασίσαμε να προωθήσουμε το πρόγραμμα εκμάθησης της Ελληνικής, επειδή η κοινωνία μας χρειάζεται ένα εργαλείο που θα της επιτρέψει ν' αναπτύξει τη δημιουργικότητά της, να εισαγάγει καινούριες ιδέες και θα της προσφέρει γνώσεις περισσότερες απ' όσες ο άνθρωπος μπορούσε ως τώρα να ανακαλύψει. Με άλλα λόγια, πρόκειται για μιαν εκδήλωση τάσης για επιστροφή του παγκόσμιου πολιτισμού στο πνεύμα και τη γλώσσα των Ελλήνων. Άλλο δείγμα της ίδιας τάσης: Άγγλοι επιχειρηματίες προτρέπουν τα ανώτερα στελέχη να μάθουν Αρχαία Ελληνικά, επειδή αυτά ενέχουν μια ξεχωριστή σημασία για τους τομείς οργανώσεως και διαχειρίσεως επιχειρήσεων. Η προτροπή αυτή έρχεται στη συνέχεια διαπίστωσης άγγλων επιστημόνων ότι η Ελληνική γλώσσα ενισχύει τη λογική και τονώνει τις ηγετικές ικανότητες. Αυτές οι ιδιότητες της Ελληνικής ώθησαν το Πανεπιστήμιο Ιρμάιν της Καλιφόρνια να αναλάβει την αποθησαύριση του πλούτου της. Επικεφαλής του προγράμματος τοποθετήθηκαν η Γλωσσολόγος, Ελληνίστρια κυρία Μ. Μακ Ντόναλτ και οι καθηγητές της ηλεκτρονικής Μπρούνερ και Πάκαρι.
Μιλώντας γι' αυτό ο καθηγητής Μπρούνερ είπε: Σε όποιον απορεί γιατί τόσα εκατομμύρια δολάρια για την αποθησαύριση των λέξεων της Ελληνικής απαντούμε: Μα πρόκειται για τη γλώσσα των προγόνων μας! Και η επαφή μας μαζί τους δεν μπορεί παρά να βελτιώσει τον πολιτισμό μας!
Οι υπεύθυνοι του προγράμματος υπολογίζουν ότι οι ελληνικοί λεκτικοί τύποι θα φθάσουν στα 90 εκατομμύρια, έναντι 9 εκατομμυρίων της λατινικής. Το ενδιαφέρον για την Ελληνική προέκυψε από τη διαπίστωση των επιστημόνων πληροφορικής και υπολογιστών ότι οι Η/Υ προχωρημένης τεχνολογίας δέχονται ως νοηματική γλώσσα μόνον την Ελληνική. Όλες τις άλλες γλώσσες τις χαρακτήρισαν σημειολογικές .
Νοηματική γλώσσα θεωρείται η γλώσσα στην οποία το σημαίνον, δηλαδή η λέξη, και το σημαινόμενο, δηλαδή αυτό, που η λέξη εκφράζει (πράγμα, ιδέα, κατάσταση), έχουν μεταξύ τους πρωτογενή σχέση.
Ενώ σημειολογική είναι η γλώσσα, στην οποία αυθαιρέτως ορίζεται ότι το τάδε σημαινόμενο, εννοείται με το τάδε σημαίνον.
Με άλλα λόγια, η Ελληνική γλώσσα είναι η μόνη γλώσσα, της οποίας οι λέξεις έχουν πρωτογένεια, ενώ σε όλες τις άλλες, οι λέξεις σημαίνουν κάτι, απλώς επειδή έτσι 'συμφωνήθηκε' μεταξύ εκείνων που την χρησιμοποιούν.
ΟΛΕΣ οι λέξεις στην Ελληνική ΣΗΜΑΙΝΟΥΝ, π.χ. η λέξη ενθουσιασμός = εν-Θεώ, γεωμετρία = γη +μετρώ, προφητεία = προ + φάω, άνθρωπος = ο άναρθρων (ο αρθρώνων λόγο). Έχουμε δηλαδή αιτιώδη σχέση μεταξύ λέξεως-πράγματος, πράγμα που δεν συμβαίνει στις άλλες γλώσσες.
Τα πιο εξελιγμένα προγράμματα Ίβυκος , Γνώσεις και Νεύτων αναπαριστούν τους λεκτικούς τύπους της Ελληνικής σε ολοκληρώματα και σε τέλεια σχήματα παραστατικής, πράγμα που αδυνατούν να κάνουν για τις άλλες γλώσσες. Και τούτο επειδή η Ελληνική έχει μαθηματική δομή, η οποία επιτρέπει την αρμονική γεωμετρική τους απεικόνιση.
Ιδιαιτέρως χρήσιμα είναι τα ελληνικά προσφύματα όπως : τηλέ , λάνδη =...LAND, ΓΕΩ...,νάνο, μίκρο, μέγα, σκοπό, ...ισμός, ΗΛΕΚΤΡΟ.., κυκλο...., ΦΩΝΟ...., ΜΑΚΡΟ...., ΜΙΚΡΟ...., ΔΙΣΚΟ...., ΓΡΑΦΟ..., ΓΡΑΜΜΑ..., ΣΥΝ..., ΣΥΜ..., κ.λπ..
Οι ηλεκτρονικοί υπολογιστές θεωρούν την Ελληνική γλώσσα «μη οριακή», δηλαδή ότι μόνο σ' αυτή δεν υπάρχουν όρια και γι' αυτό είναι αναγκαία στις νέες επιστήμες, όπως η Πληροφορική, η Ηλεκτρονική, η Κυβερνητική και άλλες. Αυτές οι επιστήμες μόνο στην Ελληνική γλώσσα βρίσκουν τις νοητικές εκφράσεις που χρειάζονται, χωρίς τις οποίες η επιστημονική σκέψη αδυνατεί να προχωρήσει.
Γι' αυτούς τους λόγους οι Ισπανοί Ευρωβουλευτές ζήτησαν να καθιερωθεί η Ελληνική ως η επίσημη της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης, επειδή το να μιλά κανείς για Ενωμένη Ευρώπη χωρίς την Ελληνική είναι σα να μιλά σε έναν τυφλό για χρώματα".


Αυτά συμβαίνουν , τη στιγμή που όσοι έχουν τελειώσει Λύκειο στην Ελλάδα τα τελευταία 25 χρόνια αγνοούν τα στοιχειώδη στην Γραμματική, Σύνταξη και Λεξιλόγιο της ελληνικής γλώσσας. Κι όμως αυτό το πρόβλημα θεωρείται από εκλεγόμενους και εκλογείς ως ασήμαντο μπροστά στο πόσο πουλιέται το αρνάκι το Πάσχα, η γαλοπούλα τα Χριστούγεννα και η λαγάνα τη Καθαρά Δευτέρα...
Ακολουθούν τα 222 κείμενά για την Αρχαία Ελλάδα, που έχει συγγράψει και κυκλοφορήσει η κυρία Marianne MacDonald. Έχουν γράψει, άραγε τόσα, όλοι μαζί οι Καθηγητές των Αρχαιοελληνικών όλων των ελληνικών Πανεπιστημίων; Ή ψάχνουν να βρουν σε ποιο ακόμα Διοικητικό Συμβούλιο θα διορισθουν; Ή αφορμή για να τραβάει ο ένας τον άλλον στα δικαστήρια για ψύλλου πήδημα;
