Sessió: The Alpheios Project

 

The Alpheios Project, Ltd. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

We aim to help people learn how to learn languages as efficiently and enjoyably as possible, and in a way that best helps them understand their own literary heritage and culture, as well as the literary heritage and culture of other peoples throughout history.

Our initial focus is on classical literature in languages no longer spoken, such as Latin and ancient Greek. The influence of these classics, like the river Alpheios, still runs like a subterranean stream deep beneath the contemporary world, as artists and thinkers continue to draw inspiration from them.

Mission

Alpheios builds evidence-based, open-source software to support study of the world’s classical languages and literatures.

We will help people learn how to learn languages as efficiently and enjoyably as possible, and in a way that best helps them understand their own literary heritage and culture, and the literary heritage and culture of other peoples throughout history.

Our initial focus is on classical literature in languages no longer spoken, such as Latin and ancient Greek. The influence of these classics, like the river Alpheios, still runs like a subterranean stream deep beneath the contemporary world, as artists and thinkers continue to draw inspiration from them.

Next priorities include supporting more languages, including Persian, Syriac and Hebrew, and adding audio and imagery as well as language learning aids and games. Longer term goals include using the Alpheios platform to collect big data on how different individuals can best learn the historical languages (those without living native speakers) and appreciate their classical literature, and how this data can be interpreted neurophysiologically to shed light on human literacy and response to literature in general.

El nostre objectiu és ajudar les persones a aprendre les llengües de la forma més eficient i agradable possible, i d’una manera que els ajudi a entendre el seu propi patrimoni i cultura literàries, així com el patrimoni literari i la cultura d’altres pobles al llarg de la història.

El nostre enfocament inicial és la literatura clàssica en llengües que ja no es parlen, com el llatí i el grec antic. La influència d’aquests clàssics, com el riu Alpheios, encara corre com un rierol subterrani sota el món contemporani, ja que els artistes i pensadors continuen inspirant-se en ells.

Missió
Alpheios construeix programari de codi obert basat en proves per donar suport a l’estudi de les llengües i literatures clàssiques del món.

Ajudarem la gent a aprendre com aprendre llengües de la forma més eficient i agradable possible, i d’una manera que els ajudi a entendre el seu propi patrimoni literari i la seva pròpia cultura, i el patrimoni literari i la cultura d’altres pobles al llarg de la història.

El nostre enfocament inicial és la literatura clàssica en llengües que ja no es parlen, com el llatí i el grec antic. La influència d’aquests clàssics, com el riu Alpheios, encara corre com un rierol subterrani sota el món contemporani, ja que els artistes i pensadors continuen inspirant-se en ells.

Les següents prioritats inclouen el suport a més llengües, incloent-hi el persa, el siríac i l’hebreu, i l’addició d’àudio i imatgeria, així com ajuda i jocs d’aprenentatge d’idiomes. Els objectius a llarg termini inclouen l’ús de la plataforma Alpheios per recollir grans dades sobre com els diferents individus poden aprendre millor les llengües històriques (aquelles que no tenen parlants nadius vius) i apreciar la seva literatura clàssica, i com aquestes dades es poden interpretar neurofisiològicament per llançar llum sobre l’alfabetització humana i la resposta a la literatura en general.
