Euskararen ezagutza datuak gero eta hobeak dira, ez da hala gertatzen, ordea, erabilera datuei erreparatuz gero. Euskaraz egin nahi izatea askotan ez da aski izaten eta nola jokatu ez dakigula geratzen gara hainbat egoeratan. Badira urte batzuk Emun kooperatiba Kataluniako hainbat lagunekin elkarlanean gai hau lantzen hasi zena euskararen herrian tailer parte-hartzaileak antolatuz. Bada, tailer horietan psikologian portaerak ulertzeko dauden hainbat teorizazio lantzen dira, horien gaineko hausnarketa egitearekin bat. Hizkuntza-ohiturei buruzko monografiko honek euskal hiztunok ditugun hizkuntza-portaeren zergatiak ulertzen laguntzea du helburu; azalpen, adibide, esperientzia eta bizipenak tarteko.
The data on the knowledge of the Basque language are showing steady improvement, yet that is not the case with respect to the data on use. Wanting to speak in Basque is often not enough, and in many situations we end up not knowing how to act. It was some years ago that the EMUN co-operative began to work on this issue in collaboration with many friends from Catalonia by running participatory workshops in the land of the Basque language. So, in these workshops some theorizings are being developed in psychology to understand behaviours as well as to reflect on them. This monographic work on language habits sets out to assist in understanding the reasons behind the language behaviours that we Basque speakers have; explanations, examples and experiences are included.
