First International Conference on the History of Basque (ICHB1)

First International Conference on the History of Basque (ICHB1)

The first quarter of this century has been a productive period for the study of the history of the Basque language, marked by significant advances in text editing, historical dialectology, and linguistic reconstruction, among other areas. Historical Basque linguistics has engaged with new theoretical perspectives, while newly discovered texts have provided fresh insights. The combination of these two pillars has led to major progress in understanding the history of the Basque language.

With the aspiration of establishing a long-term tradition, this conference aims to bring together the latest contributions in these fields. The inaugural edition will place special emphasis on historical dialectology and textual studies, while also welcoming research from other related areas. To this end, the Monumenta Linguae Vasconum research group has organized a three-day international conference designed as a meeting point for scholars working on or interested in the history of Basque.
