Talk:Hellenic Quest

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From the article :

....it is true that the Ancient Greek language is among the most well-structured grammatically (and many modern linguists now consider it to be the most powerful and even the starting point for most other languages)....

I think that this should be backed with some citations from linguistic sources, or deleted altogether.

Another gem

[edit]

But, the myth that "computers speak ancient Greek" has a significant sperm of truth, though often misunderstood. It refers, not of course at the binary logic of the computers, but, at the field of automatic syntactic analysis of natural language. An often used anti-paradigm of English language syntactic ambiguity is the phrase "time flies like an arrow; fruit flies like a banana"...

It then goes on to admit that syntactical ambiguity exists on all languages (therefore, Greek, ancient or modern, is not immune to it either). Since that is the case, what's the point of the whole convoluted paragraph? Seems like someones bizarre attempt at justifying the urban myth. 62.1.227.11 (talk) 17:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
