Elizalderen Apezendaco dotrina christiana uscaras

Abstract

In this paper a linguistic analysis of the catechism written by Fco. Elizalde has been made. This catechism, Apezendaco dotrina christiana uscaras, was published in Pamplona in 1735 and it is very interesting under a linguistic point of view as it was written in the Southern High-Navarrese dialect, the one spoken in Muzki, the author's native village, and nowadays disappeared. However, the author doesn't wholly take into consideration the way of speaking of his village. This fact can be clearly noticed if we compare it with other texts written in the same dialect in the second half of the XVII century, and which were published by M. Lekuona in this journal.
