Overview
- Eusko Legebiltzarra and Euskaltzaindia have renewed a four-year cooperation that formalizes the transfer of officially published parliamentary Basque texts into the Euskararen Erreferentzia Corpusa for indexing and analysis.
- The agreement requires Euskaltzaindia to index, run statistical analyses on and apply lexicographic treatment to parliamentary texts so they can enrich the Academy’s dictionary and language resources.
- The pact expands practical work beyond text transfer to include technical advisory services for the Parliament, explanatory reports on official-language matters, two training courses for deputies and a planned 'Pirinioetako hizkuntzak' exhibition this autumn.
- Euskaltzaindia’s Gipuzkoa delegation has presented Jon Sarasua as the sole candidate to fill Mikel Zalbide’s seat as a full euskaltzain, with final confirmation expected at the Academy’s September plenary if procedural conditions are met.
- The renewal builds on a collaboration first signed in 2011 and aims to strengthen institutional channels for terminology, legal-language guidance and public visibility of Basque across territories and registers.
