Book Description
Seminar paper from the year 2019 in the subject German Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,3, University of Würzburg, language: English, abstract: In this study the author will focus on the second generation, their children, who were all born and raised in Germany, to see if the influence of the Turkish culture through their parents and the influence of the German culture which they were born into, has an effect on their pronunciation in their parent’s language. Another observation that inspired this research is the following. Native Turkish speakers living in Turkey are usually quick in realizing whether or not a person is a bilingual German-Turkish person because of the way German-Turkish people use long and short vowels. The Turkish language does not have as many long vowels as the German language. Her prediction is that by being German-dominant speakers and thus being used to a stress-timed language the German-Turkish speakers will have trouble producing the right duration of vowels in Turkish. In the research the author does not only want to analyze the way German-dominant bilingual speakers of Turkish produce vowels but also see if there is any correlation between the way they see themselves in regard to the Turkish language and culture. Other researchers have also laid their focus on the concern for pronunciation accuracy or the desire to sound native-like but as afore mentioned the focus will be on the attitude towards the language and culture. Because there is hardly one dominant opinion about the influence of attitude towards the production of a language, she also hopes to help to further understand this relationship. This will also be interesting when projected to language acquisition in general. Can people who have a better attitude towards the language and culture of their target language acquire said language more easily? Can the heritage language and the dominant culture in which the learners live hinder or further the language acquisition?

Book Description
I elicited speech errors by experiments and analysed them to see what they reveal about vowel harmony (VH). The basic question is whether VH helps Turkish speakers to learn an artificial language system. The question of whether the subjects learned VH was tested in three ways: first, the diversity and quantity of their speech errors; second, by the test phase and third by analyzing the words subjects remembered. The results revealed that subjects preserved the system they were trained on even in their speech errors. There were certain patterns in the speech errors of both harmony and disharmony subjects. This underlies the finding that as long as there is a pattern (whether harmony or disharmony) in the artificial language system, subjects were able to learn it. The backness/rounding harmony subjects were more successful than other groups. It was observed that height harmony was more difficult for Turkish subjects compared to backness/rounding harmony. But the results of the mixed condition subjects reveal that even vowel disharmony was easier than a lack of pattern. The results point out to the fact that VH is a property that facilitates both production and perception.
