Synopsis

The figure of Bonifacio Echegaray (Zumaia, 1878-Durango, 1956), better known the Basque-speaking regions as Don Boni, had been largely forgotten by Basque intellectuals until in late 2021 a group of writers and scholars felt it was time to recover the principal works of this Basque lawyer. This book collects the articles written by Echegaray between 1927 and 1933 in the different periodicals that made up the Basque press at the time. Like any compilation of journalistic pieces, this shows a moment in time and helps to understand many issues that affect us today, determining the lines of work and the political agenda in the Basque Country. In short, Echegaray proposes a unity of action for the Basque language, apart from party policies but the object of an effective policy that would today be described as language policy with positive outcomes for Basque.

Synopsis

In this book the authors follow the structure used in the publication on J.R. Minondo (IKER 42). The First volume, entitled "Edición" ("Editing") studies all the aspects to be found in his texts, such as I. Bergara's way of writing, letters, compound words and specific terms, punctuation, abbreviations and so on, but aimed at today's reader, transcriptions of these texts with some exceptions and difficulties, with an effort made to adapt them to modern spelling. Those interested also have the option of reading the unmodified originals on the USB card included with this volume.

In the second volume, entitled "Hizkuntzen azterketa", while the authors have followed the same order and sequence as in the previous publication of 2021, this edition is more complete thanks to some additions. One of these is a comparison between the writing of J.R. Minondo and I. Bergara, in terms of both similarities and those areas where they work differently, such as causality, verbs, conjugation, word order and, in particular, the differences in the lexis used by the two authors.

Synopsis

Margaret, a member of the French house of Valois, holds a special place in the history of Navarre, as she married king Henry II of Navarre. At European level, Margaret had particular responsibility for relations between kingdoms, at the service of her brother Francis I. Not only did she devote herself to politics, she also had a special passion for literature and left a notable body of work in the 16th century, which today is a point of reference for the creative literature of the 20th and 21st centuries. Theatre was an art she fostered at her court and beyond, and she wrote plays in a range of styles. She was active in a very broad area of politics and letters, as well as being the mother of Jeanne d'Albret, queen of Navarre, and grandmother of Henry III of Navarre, who also became king of France.

Synopsis

It is of strategic importance in schools, in education, to run projects among increasingly multilingual students. This book sets out to analyse the status of Basque in education in Navarre. How multilingualism is managed now in schools and how this should be done in the future, what new challenges and opportunities face Basque in and out of the classroom, and what projects are being run in the classroom and in extracurricular activities.

Synopsis

This book presents several pieces of work with the intention of exploring the sociolinguistic evolution of Donostia/San Sebastian. First, Lionel Joly Charrasse outlines the methodological model for studying the social history of languages, in particular the social history of Basque. The second chapter of the book sets out to highlight the main languages in Donostia/San Sebastian in the course of its history. In the third, Juan Madariaga Orbea, on the basis of his extensive research into the subject, describes the position of Basque in the city in the 19th century. Next, Koldo Larrañaga Elorza, after exhaustive research, presents the opinion, and above all the practice, of members of the Royal Basque Society of the Friends of the Country, the social élites of Gipuzkoa province, with regard to Basque. Then in chapter five, Olatz Altuna Zumeta and Maialen Iñarra Arregi report on the position of Basque at the beginning of the 21st century. In the final chapter, on the basis of the methodological model mentioned above, Mikel Zalbide Elustondo and Lionel Joly Charrasse explore the sociolinguistic evolution of Donostia over the last 250 years. All these pieces of work provide an overview of the sociolinguistic evolution of Donostia/San Sebastián, from both synchronic and diachronic points of view.
