Abstract : In this article a point is made about a research which relates to the variation and the evolution of the indication of the syntactic functions for certain transitive verbs out of souletine Basque. The principal question relates to the nature and the validity of the corpus built in order to update the postulated evolution, in diachrony as in synchrony. It is a reflexion of methodological and epistemological nature which is proposed concerning a descriptive and empirical-type research.
