Abstract:

In today’s globalized world movement of people, information and knowledge is
made easier each passing day. Thus, isolated, monolingual communities are rare
in the modern world. This dissertation looks into bilinguals’ use of their
languages within the community of Turkish-Dutch speakers in the Netherlands.
It studies recordings of naturally occurring bilingual conversations among
friend groups and monolingual interviews with second generation bilinguals. It
approaches language as a usage-based system that is entirely made up of units
which differ only in their degree of complexity, their degree of schematicity
(a continuum from schematic, or open to lexical selection, to specific, or
‘lexically filled’) and in how entrenched they are. The speakers’ use of
code-switching as well as the structural and lexical aspects of their Turkish
are studied from this usage-based perspective to gain a deeper insight into
how factors like frequency of use and semantic specificity affect their
language use. The results of the analysis of their everyday in-group use of
both Dutch and Turkish is used to reassess the conventional typology of
code-switching patterns. Their Turkish is studied in order to assess whether
changes that are found, in the form of deviations from Turkish as spoken in
Turkey, might be explained by language contact. Contact-induced language
change is a relatively new source of empirical data for usage-based
linguistics; exploring the combination of theoretical perspective and
empirical data allows us to further deepen our understanding of what drives
language use and how the changes it makes visible can be explained.
