Abstract

Η εργασία μελετά τη σημασιολογική διαφορά λεκτικών τύπων με τη βοήθεια των σωμάτων κειμένων του Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) και τη διδακτική τους εφαρμογή στο πλαίσιο του Κριτικού Γραμματισμού. Ο ουσιώδης συσχετισμός των ευρημάτων στην κλασσική, βυζαντινή και μεσαιωνική εποχή με τη νεοελληνική, επιβεβαιώνουν την ερευνητική υπόθεση ότι η διδασκαλία της γλώσσας θα γινόταν πιο παραγωγική εάν εμπλουτιζόταν με σώματα κειμένων. This thesis concerns 1st in the investigation of the semantic difference of verbal forms such as πολιτεία, ἀρετή, ἀγαθός/-όν and their semantic convergences or divergences with the help of the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae (TLG) corpus texts through (a) the political philosophy of Plato, in Protagoras (period of youth 400–387 BC) and in Politia (period of maturity 386 BC–367 BC), (b) the political philosophy of Aristotle, in the Nicomachean Ethics and the Politics (third period of his philosophical activity 335–323 BC), (c) the field of Byzantine theoretical transformations and confrontations between Aristotelian and Platonic tradition in the Neoplatonic philosophy of Michael Psellos (1018–1096 AD) but also in the lexicography of Patriarch Photius (820–891 AD), exponents of an early Greek Renaissance of philology in order to create closer relations between philosophy and theology in the context of classical education in Byzantium, (d) the Dictionary of Medieval Popular Greek by Emmanuel Kriaras and the Dictionary of the Modern Greek Language by Manolis Triantafyllides. 2nd in their didactic application in the context of Critical Literacy in the class of the 3rd High School, Department of Humanities.
