Aramaioko Hizkera*
Aramaioko hizkera* JOSE LUIS ORMAETXEA LASAGA** ATARIKOA ramaioko euskara aztertzea aspaldiko asmoa banuen ere, oraintsu arte ez Adut asmo hori burutu. Gaztetatik hasia nintzen gurasoei (batez ere ama- ri) entzuten nizkien bitxikeriak apuntatzen. Baina lexikoari zegozkion kon- tuak ziren ia erabat. Eta urrats bat gehiago eman beharra zegoen. Eta hasi nintzen, hasi, baina baita ere garbatu zitzaidan lehenago ez ekin izana. Izan ere, lan honen helburua adinekoen euskara jasotzea eta aztertzea izanda, due- la 20-25 urte egin izatera, ziur asko zerbait desberdina zatekeen. Ezaugarri na- gusietan, beharbada, ez da aldaketa handirik gertatu Aramaioko euskaran be- launaldi batean, baina bizimodu-aldaketak eta erdararen eraginak bere lana egingo zutela ez dut dudarik. Hori adinekoen artean. Zer esanik ez belaunal- di gazteagoen artean, horiengan euskara batuak ere eragin eskerga izan duke- elarik. Azterketa honetan ez da egin gaur egun Aramaioko hiztun guztiek egiten duten euskararen argazkia. Argazki partziala da: soilik adinekoen euskara az- tertu da. Beraz, desagertzear den eta neurri handi batean desagertu den bizi- modu baten lekuko izan direnen euskara. Arkeologia-lana, hein handi batean. Sarreran, Aramaiori buruzko zenbait datu eman ondoren, lana egiteko erabili den metodologia eta oinarri teorikoak erakusten dira. Ondoren dator Aramaioko hizkeraren azterketa linguistikoa, honelako la- netan bereizten diren atalak landuz: 1 Fonologia, 2 Izenaren morfologia, 3 Aditzaren morfologia, 4 Morfosintaxia. Hemen, labur-beharrez, ezaugarri na- gusiak baino ez ditugu aipatuko. Azkenik, ondorio nagusiak ematen ditut, atal hauek bereiziz: Aramaioko hizkeraren kokagunea, eta Aramaioko euskararen eta Oletakoaren arteko des- berdintasunak. * Artikulu honetan 2005eko ekainean Gasteizko Filologia Fakultatean irakurritako tesiaren labur- pena eskaintzen da. Tesiaren izenburua: Aramaioko euskara (azterketa dialektologikoa). -

XX. En este artículo presentamos algunos de- ABSTRACT talles de su vida y un sencillo análisis de algunas de sus obras. Asimismo, mos- tramos un deseo ferviente de su corazón: la unificación de la lengua vasca y la superviviencia del dialecto vizcaíno. XX. mendeko bigarren zatian, Bizkaian jaio ziren euskal idazleen artean, one- netariko bat izan zen Lezamako Mikel Zarate. Lantxo honetan haren bizitzako zertzelada batzuk eta lan batzuen azterketa xumea aurkezten ditugu. Baita ere erakusten dugu haren bihotzeko gurari sakon bat: euskararen batasuna eta Biz- kaiko euskalkiaren iraupena. Mikel Zarate, born in Lezama (Biscay), was one of the most notable writers of the second half of the XX century. In this article we present some details of his life and an brief analysis of some of his works. Likewise, we show one of his most ardent wishes: the unification of the Basque language and the survival of the Biscayan dialect.

El Cine Y Los Vascos
PROLOGO La aventura del arte ha sido, como toda actividad creativa humana, un ejercicio apasionante de inteligencia y sensibilidad. El hombre, no sólo en su calidad de persona individual sino también, como pueblo, ha sabido plasmar a través de la trasparencia del universo artístico, su peculiar idiosincrasia. Aquello, específico, que sin separarlo de los otros pueblos del planeta, los distingue de ellos. Cada golpe de cincel, trazo de paleta, modulación de voz o gesto, encuadre pictórico o cinematográfico, lleva, dentro de sí, una carga que, sobrepasando el nivel de lectura inmediata, nos hace descubrir el alma oculta y profunda de un pueblo. Este descubrimiento del ritmo interno, palpitante, está presente desde que el hombre primitivo, retratando la sombra de su mano, dejó sus señas de identidad en la oscuridad de las cavernas y se prolonga, sin interrup- ción, hasta el más moderno y sofisticado holograma. Así, la historia de los pueblos está escrita en esos pequeños y misteriosos signos, con mayor claridad y precisión que lo sería en sesudos manuales de historia. Recorriendo el amplio espectro de las artes, depositarias privilegiadas de las vivencias populares, nos, encontramos con la más joven de ellas: El cinematógrafo. Su nacimiento coincide con el siglo y ha sabido recoger en su esencia misma, los logros más determinantes de las disciplinas que le precedieron, fuertes, todas ellas, de la experiencia práctica y analítica de muchos siglos. La pintura, desde los albores mismos de la expresión comunicativa inteligente, había descubierto las leyes básicas de la percepción, las rela- ciones de perspectiva, la acción de la luz en la modulación de colores y sombras. -

ISBN: 978-1530868322 Library of Congress Cataloging Data: PH5281 .G33 2014 Barbaroak, LLC. www.barbaroak.com Only Basques preserve, to our days, their vulgar and barbarian language, which does not show any elegance, and is very different from the rest of languages and the most ancient of Spain, […] it is said that the whole Spain made use of the Basque language before the Romans entered these provinces and, with their arms, spread their language. It is also said that, because these Basque people were vulgar, ferocious, and wild […] and the mountains they inhabited were inaccessible, they never fell completely under the yoke of the foreign empire, or they shook it swiftly. Juan de Mariana, General History of Spain, (1601). What are we waiting for while congregated in the forum? The barbarians are expected to arrive today. Why is there such lack of action in the senate? Why are the senators sitting still and do not legislate? Because the barbarians will arrive today. … Why are the streets and public squares becoming empty? And everybody is going home with skeptical thoughts? Because night has fallen and the barbarians did not arrive. Some people came from the border And reported that the barbarians do not exist anymore. Now what are we going to do without barbarians? These people were after all a kind of solution. Constantine P.

ACTAS / PROCEEDINGS II SIMPOSIO INTERNACIONAL BILINGÜISMO LANGUAGE PLANNING AND LINGUISTIC ATTITUDES IN THE BASQUE CASE Estibaliz Amorrortu Gómez1 University of Deusto, Bilbao 1. Introduction2 The Basque case is often mentioned as a successful language-planning story. Popular and governmental efforts to reverse its minority status lead to a situation where use of Basque is more visible: it is now used in print, mass media, and education, and it is present in linguistic landscape. Although the sociolinguistic situation is still clearly diglossic, Basque is present in many institutional settings. However, scholars are still concerned about minority language use (Larrañaga, 1998). Even though the number of bilingual speakers increases, actual use of Basque, especially in informal interactions, does not seem to increase as well3. In this paper, I examine linguistic attitudes in the Basque case in two dimensions, status and solidarity, and relate them to language planning and possible future use of Basque. Linguistic attitudes represent attitudes hold towards speakers of the given varieties. Speakers holding high socio-economic status are the ones believed to speak “good language”, whereas the dialects of stigmatized groups are perceived as “ugly”, “imperfect”, “lazy”, or just “bad X”. Prestige in the context of a variety is often associated to the status dimension of language: prestigious varieties are those used by professional or high-class groups, and those varieties promoted in institutional settings such as education, religious services, -
Dealing with Dialectal Variation in the Construction of the Basque
Dealing with dialectal variation in the construction of the Basque historical corpus Ainara Estarrona1, Izaskun Etxeberria1, Ricardo Etxepare2, Manuel Padilla-Moyano2, Ander Soraluze1 1HiTZ Center - Ixa, University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) 2CNRS - IKER (UMR 5478) [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper analyses the challenge of working with dialectal variation when semi-automatically normalising and analysing historical Basque texts. This work is part of a more general ongoing project for the construction of a morphosyntactically annotated historical corpus of Basque called Basque in the Making (BIM): A Historical Look at a European Language Isolate, whose main objective is the systematic and diachronic study of a number of grammatical features. This will be not only the first tagged corpus of historical Basque, but also a means to improve language processing tools by analysing historical Basque varieties more or less distant from present-day standard Basque. 1 Introduction In many languages other than Basque, different historical corpora exist which are annotated morpholog- ically and syntactically, and allow lexical, morphological or syntactic searches in historical texts, e.g. the Penn Parsed Corpora of Historical English (Kroch and Taylor, 2000; Kroch et al., 2004; Kroch et al., 2016), the Tycho Brahe Corpus [historical corpus of Portuguese] (Galves et al., 2017), the Icelandic Parsed Historical Corpus (Wallenberg et al., 2011) or the Parsed Old and Middle Irish Corpus (Lash, 2014). However, no appropriate instruments of this type have ever been developed for Basque. In this paper we present the work we are carrying out in the construction of a historical corpus of Basque considering the dialectal variation of historical texts. -

Variation in the Grammar of Endangered Languages: the Case of Two Basque Dialects
Agurtzane Elordui Variation in the Grammar of Endangered Languages: The Case of Two Basque Dialects Abstract Resea¡ches addressing variation in language loss suggest that the factors underlining variation in endangered languages differ from the factors that account for variation in healthy languages. The results of this study focused on the patterns of variation across the language use ofdifferent speakers oftwo dying dialects ofBasque, also show that differences related with the social status of the speakers do not explain the morpho- syntactic variation found in these dialects. The data indicate that the pattems of variation found in these terminal communities can be better accounted for in terms of differentiation in the degree of language use frequency of the speakers and in the diversity of their acquisitional backgrounds. These results come to confirm King's proposal according to which variation arises in dying languages as a result of a language death process whereby simplified variants gradually replace more complex variants, especially in the speech of semi-speakers (King 1989: 139). Likewise, the analysis of the overgeneralized o¡ new variants used particularly by semi-speakers reveals that linguistic considerations such as scale ofmorphological complexity ofthe variant, markedness and semantic and morphological transparency have a relevant importance in order to explain the linguistic nature ofthis variation. 1. Introduction One of the most widespread linguistic characteristics of endangered languages is the great amount of linguistic variation that appears within the speech of a single speaker and particularly, across the language use of different speakers of the same speech community. Researches addressing variation in language loss suggest that the factors underlining this variation differ from the factors that account for variation in healtþ languages.
