Alokutibotasuna eta tratamenduak euskarazII. Markinaldeko kasua

Laburpena

This second part brings together two sections: The first is of a theoretical linguistic nature, and is titled Allocution and Forms of Address in Basque. It deals with the nature, history and dialectal distribution of the allocutional and non-allocutional forms of address in the Basque language. The second section is of a more pragmatic character, looking as it does at the uses and geographical situations of the different registers within a single area of Biscay. It is an empirical study, consisting of field research and based on a survey carried out in Markina and its surroundings, in which an account is given of the unmarked use of the different registers in this geographical-linguistic region. The author ends by drawing certain theoretical and practical conclusions regarding the different forms of address that exist in Basque, and more specifically the use of them in the particular area of study.
