Overview

Using Hamburg as an example, this book shows that the Turkish language is well-established today in Germany's large cities and has become an integral part of everyday communication - not only for citizens of Turkish decent. In fact, teenagers and young adults of German and other heritages are learning Turkish fragmentarily or completely and using it in everyday life. The book examines the process of and social-symbolic motivation for learning Turkish, the structure of the Turkish being acquired, as well as its application in conversation.
