Bizkaiko ume-olgeten lexikoaz

Abstract

Part of the vocabulary used in children’s games in the Province of Vizcaya (Biscay) is presented in this article. Along with the words and formulae themselves, some original texts illustrating the meaning of both the vocabulary and the game itself are also included. These texts have been transcribed as accurately as possible. The article is divided into 13 sections, following one of the classifications commonly used in relation with this subject. The objective of the article is twofold: the collection and publication of linguistic data; and to attempt to recover and update part of this material within the process of the linguistic normalisation of the Basque language.
