Dr. Polyvia Parara Delivers Keynote Address at International Greek Language Day
February 19, 2025
"How Unique Greek Concepts Inspire Freedom and Citizen Participation in the Modern World"
Dr. Polyvia Parara was the keynote speaker at the event organized on February 8th , 2025, by the Hellenic Society Prometheas under the auspices of the Embassy of Greece in Washington DC, on the occasion of the International Greek Languag
e Day. The topic of her speech was "The Modernity of the Greek Language."
In her speech, Dr Parara analyzed words and concepts of the Greek language that do not exist in other languages and remain untranslatable because they were not substantiated and conceptualized anywhere else beyond the Greek world. Since these concepts lead societies to greater citizen participation and freedom, they make the Greek language very modern and pioneering today.
