This work argues that the Basque reportative particle omen contributes to the propositional contents of the utterance, and it is not an illocutionary force indicator, contrary to what seems to be suggested by the standard view on omen. The results of the application of the assent/dissent test for the case of omen show that subjects not only accept a rejection of the reported content (p), but also a rejection of the evidential content (pomen) itself. The results are similar to those of the verb esan ‘to say’. It is, then, proposed that the difference between these two elements can be explained by distinguishing between the contents of the utterances (with Korta & Perry 2007, 2011), regarding the (non-)articulation of the original speaker.

The proposed Euskaro-Caucasian linguistic relationship between Basque and North Caucasian is demonstrated not only by basic words, grammatical morphemes, and phonetic correspondences, but by lexical families, complexes of semantically interrelated words, and by shared grammatical homologies that are unlikely to have arisen by chance. One such family includes the words for ‘smoke’ (Basque *e=ke ~ Proto-North Caucasian *k?w?˘nhV) and ‘fire’ (Basque *śu / *i=c´u ~ Proto-North Caucasian *ca˘?j?˘ / *cu?j-), and other words relating to the production of fire (‘ember’; ‘firewood’; ‘tinder’; ‘ashes’; ‘soot’). The basic necessity of fire, and methods of kindling fire, did not essentially change until recent times. The analyses of these words also reveal traces of archaic Euskaro-Caucasian morphological features (class prefixes, oblique stem markers, and allomorphs) that are now lexicalized in Basque. “Where there is fire, there is smoke” can also serve as a metaphor for the observation that where there is a genetic linguistic relationship (“fire”), there are also lexical, phonological, and grammatical features (or their traces = “smoke”) that verify the existence of the former. This type of study, emphasizing interrelations among linguistic structures, and their relationships to social, anthropological and historical structures, can be traced back to influences from the Prague School.

The article describes, analyses and compares the evolution of the demolinguistic situation in the Basque Autonomous Community, in the Chartered Community of Navarre and in the Basque Municipal Autonomous Community in France. The position of Basque in Spain has improved significantly and the number of speakers of that language has also increased. In France, the revitalization of Basque began much later, but the first signs of increasing popularity of this language are beginning to emerge.

The paper addresses problems related to the choice of educational language in Spain. We briefly present the current sociolinguistic situation in the Basque Country, Galicia and Catalonia and the possibilities of educational language choice in these autonomous communities. Based on data provided by the city halls of Bilbao, Vigo and Barcelona, we analyse the language models actually available at both state and (semi)private primary schools in these cities. We also take into account practical elements such as the distance of a school from the family’s residence. Our research reveals that each of the autonomous communities analysed addresses the choice of educational language in a different way and that a theoretical availability of different language models does not necessarily mean that the chosen model will be accessible in a state school close to the child’s home. The analysis aims to present questions related to the choice of educational language in a plurilingual state as part of a complex problem which is related not only to linguistic identity but also to general topics of multilingual education and its suitability for all children.
