Bakioko azentuaz

Abstract

In this article the main features of the Bakio Basque stress system are analysed. The Bakio stress system falls within the sphere of the Northern Bizkayan pitch stress range. In this study the main differences benveen stressed and unstressed morphemes are investigated, with an emphasis on the former of these, including on the one hand the suffixes of derivation and, on the other, the suffixes of declension and the varying verbal aspects. One of the sections highlights the main stress characteristics of compound formations.
