Linguistic Effects of Immigration: Language Choice, Codeswitching, and Change in Western European Turkish
Since the 1960s, Western Europe has been host to a large Turkish immigrant community. While many such communities shift to the majority language in the space of a few generations, language maintenance is remarkably successful in this community. This is partially because of continuing immigration, but it is also typical of a transnational identity that characterizes many bilingual communities in modern Europe. The linguistic effects of this on‐goi…
The development of co-constructed narratives by Turkish children in Germany
Turkish in contact with German: Language maintenance and loss among immigrant children in Berlin (West)
Article Turkish in contact with German: Language maintenance and loss among immigrant children in Berlin (West) was published on January 1, 1991 in the journal International Journal of the Sociology of Language (volume 1991, issue 90)
Sociolinguistic problems of immigrants: Foreign workers and their children in Germany (a review article)
This paper reviews the work on sociolinguistic aspects of the recent immigration of foreign workers and their families from Southern Europe and the Mediterranean countries of the Middle East and North Africa to West Germany. The continued presence of these foreigners presents almost laboratory conditions for the investigation of the initial and subsequent stages of contact-induced linguistic development in adults and children. The situation is pa…
Constraints on Language Mixing: Intrasentential Code-Switching and Borrowing in Spanish/English
Mixture of Spanish and English, whether in isolated loan words or in codeswitching of clauses and sentences, while socially motivated, is subject to clear linguistic constraints. Quantitative analysis of mixing in conversations of MexicanAmericans suggests specific functional constraints to express tense/aspect/mood and subject/object relationships, as well as structural constraints which permit only surface structures which are grammatical in bo…

Hypercorrection and grammar change
Pfaff (1973, 1975) reports on 81 low- and middle-income first-grade Black children who produced multiple instances of linguistic variables by answering questions about a set of pictures and telling the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. No models were given of the linguistic variables under investigation, which included a number of third person singular present-tense verb forms: -s inflection of regular verbs, auxiliary and main verb be, au…
