• Resumen

  • When we speak of linguistic planning the two aspects that have been highlighted are corpus planning and status planning. This paper aims to provide a broad view of Basque language corpus planning beginning in 1968 (the year of the Aranzazu Congress of the “Euskaltzaindia”, or Academy of the Basque Language) when the first steps were taken towards Basque corpus normalisation, and going up to the present day.

    Moreover, today’s society is immersed in the information and communication age. New technologies have produced tools suitable for processing and transmitting information, and language corpuses a re highly important re s o u rces, because they are re q u i red by Language Technologies. So integration into these technologies will be of strategic importance for Basque language survival
