UZTARO, 16 - 1996, 109 - 123 109 Esteribarko euskararen azentuaz Iñaki Gaminde EHUko irakaslea Artikulu honetan Esteribar haraneko Usetxi eta Eugi herrietako euskararen azentu-eredua aztertzen da. Nafarroako ekialdeko gainerako barietate askotan gertatzen den era berean, oraingo honetan ere, azentua 2 ← ] eskemaren arabera ezartzen da erroari erants dakizkiokeen morfema guztiak erantsi ostean. Hala ere, azentu nagusi hau intonazioak baldintzatua dela ere iradokiko dugu, hots, hitzaren egonguneen arabera alda daitekeela proposatuko dugu. Lanaren lehenbiziko atalean, artikulua oinari atxikita aplikatu behar diren erregela fonologikoak aurkeztuko ditugu. Bigarrenean lexikoaren azentua aztertzen dugu; hitz batzuen azterketa akustikoaren emaitzak oinarritzat hartuta, herri hauetako azentu-ereduaren erregelak emango ditugu. Hirugarren atalean, deklinabidearen azentua aztertzen da. Laugarrenean, erakusle, izenordain, leku-denborazko erakusleetatik erakarritako aditzondo eta galdetzaileen azentu-ereduak emango dira. Azkenik, bosgarren zatian, Esteribarreko egoera soziolinguistiko tamalgarria gogoan erabilita, jaso ditugun hitz guztiak euron azentuekin batera emateari interesgarri iritzi diogu. The article analyses the model of the Basque language’s accent in the villages of Usetxi and Eugi, within the valley of Esteribar (Navarre). As it happens in other varieties in the rest of East Navarre, accent is added in the way showed by type 2 ← ], after adding all posible morphemes to the roots. However, we must say that this main accent is conditioned by intonation, and we will propose that it may change depending on the word's place in the sentence. Firstly, the starting part of the writing exposes the phonological rules to apply when we add the article to the root. Secondly, the lexicon accent is analyzed; based on the results of some words’ acoustical analysis, rules for the accent model within these villages are presented. The third part of the article analyses the declension accent. The fourth part gives the rules for the accent model of demonstratives, pronouns, interrogatives, place-time adverbs and numerals. Finally, in the fifth part, taking in mind the unfortunated socio- linguistical situation within the valley of Esteribar, it may be interesting to list all the words collected with their accents.
