Abstract:
Let the authors of this work, physicians as they are, explain hereby what paraphasia means: a type of disorder where substitute words that are not truly equivalent are used. Basque nationalism is going through a paraphasic process today: instead of saying “compatriot”, the words “partner” or “friend” are used; “the Basque society” instead of “the Basque Nation”; “associated free state” instead of “independence”, and “right to decide” instead of “self-determination”.
