Oiartzungo azentuera zaharra [The old accentual system of Oiartzun Basque]
Abstract
Among the research materials that Mitxelena left unpublished we find a recording that he prepared in order to study accentual contrasts in Basque. For this purpose, Mitxelena interviewed a speaker from Oiartzun. In this paper, we analyze the accentual patterns that are found in the recording and compare them with Mitxelena’s classification. The main result is that the accentual system that was employed in Oiartzun at the time was rather similar to that still found in Goizueta.
