Do young people want a heavier back-burden in basque?

Abstract

In this article its author puts forward and argues that the increasing use of Basque in explanatory and argumentative texts is bringing about an evolution in the ideas about the word-order in the Basque written logical-discursive prose. In this context a research work is presented regarding the criteria shown by two samples of users of the language with differing levels of proficiency, in which the most expert group shows a clearer trend towards reducing the back-burden of Euskara than the young students to whom they are compared.
