Vinson were largely responsible for introducing to Basque studies "la science républicaine" (a curious expression employed recently by Bidart (2001: 198)) in the half-century between 1870 and 1920. The renowned Bascologist's attitude to the Basque language was double-edged, for while he considered Basque to be of great scientific interest as an ancient tongue, study of which would reveal the ‘state of the ancient Basque civilisations' (Vinson 1874: 55), socially, on the contrary, he saw Basque as useless in practice and doomed to disappear:<br />"The Basque language, which is of no practical interest, notwithstanding its enormous scientific importance, is clearly on its way to extinction". (Vinson 1882: 66)<br />This article aims to clarify certain little-known aspects, especially among Bascologists, of Vinson's linguistic views. These views were in fact quite characteristic of a whole current in French linguistic thought and the broader field of anthropology, to which Vinson pertained.https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00326318https://artxiker.ccsd.cnrs.fr/artxibo-00326318v1/file/Goenagaren_omenaldia.BO.pdfChapitre de livre | Liburu zatiavignette : https://www.bilketa.eus/in/rest/Thumb/image?id=ark:/27020/Artxiker-00326318&mat=articleNumengArchive ouverte HAL | HAL artxibo irekiaBasque language and bascologismJ.
