Beste aditz laguntzaile ditrantsitibo bat Gipuzkoa mendebaldean: -ag- erroko formen jatorria eta garapena

Borja Ariztimuño Lopez — 2021-09-13

Artikulu honetan Gipuzkoa mendebaldeko hizkeretan baizik ageri ez den aditz laguntzaile batez arituko naiz (adib. Otxoa Arinen diago ‘dio’), bi helburu nagusirekin: batetik, lehen aldiz forma dokumentatu guztiak sailkatzea (orain arte identifikatu ez diren zenbait barne), eta bestalde, adizki horien eta orobat gutxi aztertu diren Lazarragaren jago ‘dio’ erakoen arteko harremana argitzea, guztien sorreraren eta garapenaren gaineko proposamen bat eginez. Hala, testuen azterketa filologikoa eta barne-berreraiketa baliatuz ondoriozta daiteke ezen Araba ipar-ekialdeko eta Debarroaren inguruko euskaran *edun-en forma ditrantsitibo bereziak garatu zirela, zeinek bilakaera fonologiko baten ondorioz -ag- erroa erakusten duten, eta betiere 3. pertsonako datibo-komunztadura.

Ezaugarrien kronologiaren garrantzia: -ki-dun indikatiboko NOR-NORI saileko adizkien historia pixka bat

Urtzi Reguero Ugarte — 2021-08-09

Artikulu honetan Nafarroa Garaiko hizkera batzuetan agertzen diren dakit ‘zait’, zekion ‘zitzaion’ gisako indikatiboko nor-nori saileko adizkiak aztertzen dira ikuspuntu diakroniko eta kronologiko batetik. Mendez mende, adizki horien agerraldiak eta lekukotasunak aztertzen dira, xvi. mendeko testu zaharrenetatik abiatu eta xx. mende bitarteko testigantzetara bitartean. Orain arte ezer gutxi ikertu da gaiaz eta, oro har, aoristoarekin lotutako arkaismotzat hartu izan da. Halere, saio honetan hipotesi horren puntu ahulak aurkezten dira; besteak beste, orainaldian ere agertzea edo nor 3. pertsona denean bakarrik erabiltzea. Horren ordez, beraz, bestelako proposamen bat aurkeztu eta Nafarroako erdiguneko hizkera batzuek egindako berrikuntza bat dela defendatzen da. Bidenabar, ezaugarri dialektalen azterketa xeheek dialektologia diakronikoan egin dezaketen ekarpena ere aldarrikatu nahi da.

On the comparative method, internal reconstruction, and other analytical tools for the reconstruction of the evolution of the Basque language: An assessment

José Ignacio Hualde — 2021-08-09

This paper is an attempt to present the state of the art in Basque historical phonology. The accomplishments and limitations of different methodologies are evaluated. These methodologies include the application of the comparative method to Basque dialects, the analysis of old borrowings in Michelena’s work, internal reconstruction, and Lakarra’s canonical root hypothesis. I also discuss the possibilities afforded by internal reconstruction and root theory for discovering genetic relationships between Basque and other languages, focusing on recent proposals.

Towards a History of Basque Anthroponymy

Mikel Martínez Areta — 2021-09-13

In this paper, a short history of Basque anthroponymy is made, starting from Antiquity and going through the Roman period, the Middle Ages, the Modern Age and the Contemporary Age. For each of these periods, the stock of the most frequent person names is presented, by synthesizing a variety of works by other authors, who in turn depend on the kind of sources that we have for each period. As in other parts of Europe, an autochthonous repertoire of anthroponyms dominates until the 11^th century, either of Aquitanian/Basque etymology or borrowed (mainly from Romance), but deep-rooted in the Basque-speaking areas and particularly in the Kingdom of Pamplona.

From the 11^th century, the centralizing reforms undertaken by the Catholic Church brought about a gradual substitution of those ancient person names by some others taken from saints, evangelists, characters of the New Testament, a tendency brought to the extreme by the previsions fostered by the Council of Trent. However, as any other European language, Basque developed vernacular versions of these names, as well as an ample array of hypocoristic variants, in which the autochtonous processes of the language such as suffixation, palatalization, etc., are profusely employed.

As against some previous accounts of Basque anthroponymy, which have focused exclusively on the analysis of separate anthroponymic units (basically idionyms and patronyms), this paper aims at a global description of the anthroponymic system, considering also social aspects like the development of naming structures as a whole (e.g. idionym + patronym + toponym), and the motivation for giving children particular names (according to relatives, ancestors, patron saints, calendars…).
