Adverbial Relations in Turkish-German Bilingualism - Seda Yilmaz Wörfel Kartoniert (TB)

The Turkish Language in diaspora is in process of change due to different Language constellations of immigrants and the dominance of majority Languages. This led to a great interest in various research areas particularly in linguistics. Against this background this study focuses on developmental change in the use of adverbial clause-combining constructions in Turkish-German bilingual students' oral and written text Production. It illustrates the use of non-finite constructions and some unique alternative strategies to express adverbial relations with authentic examples in Turkish and German. The findings contribute to a better understanding of how bilingual competencies vary in expressing adverbial relations depending on Language contact and extra-linguistic factors.
