The book that Antonio Zabala wrote about the improvised verses and anecdotes about Txirrita is entitled Ustu ezin zan ganbara (The unemptiable store). That ; store is the individual and collective memory ?a collection of memories. The widest and most generous ?not the only, though? storehouse of a society is its language. Language is created by the intuition of a people and keeps its richest outcomes. Having this point of view in mind, this conference aims to analyze the role of the language in the memory and the future of the nation.
