Η φωνητική απόδοση των νεοελληνικών διαλέκτων και ιδιωμάτων

Abstract

The present paper discusses the phonetic transcription methods applied in the Historical Dictionary of Modern Greek and in Modern Greek dialectology in general. It provides a categorisation of the available transcriptions systems, an overview of transcription practice for each MG dialect, and a discussion of the main transcription problems in oral and written dialectological sources. It presents and justifies the principles and solutions adopted by the Historical Dictionary for the transcription of dialect material, and also offers correspondence tables for the phonetic symbols adopted in the major dialectological studies for each dialect as compared to the symbols of the Historical Dictionary and of the IPA.
