Goizuetako azentu-hiztegia / An accent dictionary of Goizueta Basque

Abstract

The aim of this dictionary is to describe the accentual patterns of Goizueta Basque. This dictionary contains around 2,400 entries provided with accent marks. The selection of lexical items has been made on the basis of other dictionaries of northern Navarrese varieties.
In addition to the dictionary, this contribution includes an explanation of the rules and physical characteristics of the accent system of Goizueta Basque. For this purpose, we have summarized previous work on the word prosody of the Basque dialect of Goizueta and, in some cases, we have completed the description. In particular, we examine the prosodic properties of word groups, as well as variation found among age groups.
At the end, we sum up the most important contributions and conclusions of the work and offer an account of the main characteristics of the Goizueta accent system.
