This article examines and discusses aspects of the acquisition of Turkish literacy in the minority context in Germany. After describing the particular sociolinguistic and language contact situation of Turkish in Germany, the article focuses on two empirical aspects of the acquisition of Turkish literacy within this situation. First, the development of noun phrase complexity is analyzed in a pseudo-longitudinal approach investigating Turkish texts of German-Turkish bilingual pupils of different grades. Second, strategies of literacy are analyzed in the investigation of Turkish texts from bilingual high school pupils of the 12th grade.
MULTILIT
(2015)
This paper presents an overview of the linguistic analyses developed in the MULTILIT project and the processing of the oral and written texts collected. The project investigates the language abilities of multilingual children and adolescents, in particular, those who have Turkish and/or Kurdish as a mother tongue. A further aim of the project is to examine from a psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic perspective the extent to which competence in academic registers is achieved on the basis of the languages spoken by the children, including the language(s) spoken at the home, the language of the country of residence and the first foreign language. To be able to examine these questions using corpus linguistic parameters, we created categories of analysis in MULTILIT.
The data collection comprises texts from bilingual and monolingual children and adolescents in Germany in their first language Turkish, their second language German und their foreign language English. Pupils aged between nine and twenty years of age produced monologue oral and written texts in the two genres of narrative and discursive. On the basis of these samples, we examine linguistic features such as lexical expression (lexical density, lexical diversity), syntactic complexity (syntactic and discursive packaging) as well as phonology in the oral texts and orthography in the written texts, with the aim of investigating the pupils’ growing mastery of these features in academic and informal registers.
To this end the raw data have been transcribed by the use of transcription conventions developed especially for the needs of the MULTILIT data. They are based on the commonly used HIAT and GAT transcription conventions and supplemented with conventions that provide additional information such as features at the graphic level.
The categories of analysis comprise a large number of linguistic categories such as word classes, syntax, noun phrase complexity, complex verbal morphology, direct speech and text structures. We also annotate errors and norm deviations at a wide range of levels (orthographic, morphological, lexical, syntactic and textual). In view of the different language systems, these criteria are considered separately for all languages investigated in the project.

Converbs in heritage Turkish
(2021)
Turkish expresses adverbial subordination predominantly by means of converb clauses. These are headed by nonfinite verbs, i.e. converbs, which have a converb suffix attached to the stem. The different converbs express different aspectual relations between the subordinate and the superordinate clause, and they can be modifying or non-modifying. We analyse data from speakers of Turkish as a heritage language in Germany and the U.S. as well as monolingual speakers of Turkish in Turkey. The data come from two age groups: adults and adolescents. We show that unlike in canonical Turkish, converbs in heritage Turkish can be multifunctional, meaning that they can express both simultaneity and causality, for example. Furthermore, we show that converbs in heritage Turkish can be both modifying and non-modifying. As possible factors which might be responsible for such variation, we discuss language contact, sociolinguistic differences between the speaker communities (Germany vs. the U.S.) and age of the speakers.

Sprachbildung und Deutsch als Zweitsprache (DaZ) sind in der Lehrkräftebildung für die Sekundarstufe an der Universität Potsdam bislang nicht systematisch als Querschnittsaufgabe verankert. Vor diesem Hintergrund verfolgte das Projekt „Sprachliche Heterogenität als Herausforderung in der Lehrkräftebildung“ (Leitung: Prof. Christoph Schroeder, Teilprojekt 3.2. des Projekts PSI, Laufzeit 2015-2018) das Ziel, eine fachübergreifende Auseinandersetzung mit diesem Thema anzustoßen. Zu diesem Zweck wurden in Kooperation mit fachdidaktischen Arbeitsbereichen Lehrveranstaltungen zu den Themen „Sprachliche Heterogenität“ und „Sprachbildung im Fach“ durchgeführt. Auf der Basis dieser Lehrveranstaltungen sind diese fachspezifischen Handreichungen entstanden. Als frei zugängliche Dokumente stehen sie sowohl Lehrenden als auch Studierenden als Informationsquellen zur Verfügung: Jeder thematische Unterpunkt enthält ein zentrales Schaubild oder Zitat, das mit einer knappen Erläuterung versehen ist. Für die Lehre können einzelne thematische Unterpunkte wie aus einem Baukasten ausgewählt werden, ohne dass alle Unterpunkte behandelt werden. Insbesondere die abgedruckten und transkribierten Schülerprodukte stellen einen Materialfundus für eine kompetenzorientierte und anwendungsbezogene Lehrkräftebildung im Bereich Sprachbildung / DaZ dar.
