This work delves into the intricate relationship between the written and spoken forms of the Greek language, particularly addressing the tensions and conflicts surrounding language use in Greek society. Brugman discusses the historical evolution of Greek language and its implications for national identity and culture. The opening of this work introduces the concept of a "living language" that continuously evolves, contrasting it with the more rigid nature of written language. Brugman outlines how both the educated elite and the common people engage with language, expressing concerns over the distancing of formal language from the vernacular. He highlights the ongoing conflict within Greek society regarding the adequacy and relevance of the 'Katharevousa' (the purist form of the written language) in reflecting the contemporary realities of spoken Greek. Brugman sets the stage for a critical discussion on how this linguistic divide impacts Greek culture and education, referencing the historical context and the necessity for reform in language practices.
