NOR-NORK saileko "egin"-en hedadura geografikoa Gipuzkoan: ondorio batzuk testu zaharren azterketatik

Resumen

In this article I examine the bipersonal verbal forms with the auxiliares *ezan and, especially, egin in Gipuzkoan texts. Drawing on a thorough analysis of 16^th-18^th century texts ¾and other monographs¾, these main ideas have been concluded: first, the occidental innovation egin of bipersonal irrealis verbal forms does not appear to have been used in Beterri and the north-eastern part of Gipuzkoa. Conversely, in the regions Urola and Goierri, which have been most closely connected with the occidental Basque, it appears that egin may have reached some towns of these regions later than in the 17^th and 18^th centuries: perhaps in the 19^th or 20^th centuries. Moreover, this innovation may have extended from Goierri to the south-center part of Tolosaldea. This being so, I introduce some questions that have not been previously raised and that I believe are interesting to address: these questions are related to the breadth and diffusion of the occidental innovation in question.
