Children who grow up as second- or third-generation immigrants typically acquire and speak the minority language at home and the majority language at school. Recurrently, these children have been the subject of controversial debates about their linguistic abilities in relation to their educational success. However, such debates fail to recognise that variation in bilinguals’ language processing is a phenomenon in its own right that results from the dynamic influence of one language on another. This volume provides insight into cross-linguistic influence in Turkish-German and Turkish-French bilingual children and uncovers the nature of variation in L1 and L2 oral motion event descriptions b...
South Asia is home to a large number of languages and dialects. Although linguists working on this region have made significant contributions to our understanding of language, society, and language in society on a global scale, there is as yet no recognized international forum for the exchange of ideas amongst linguists working on South Asia. The Annual Review of South Asian Languages and Linguistics is designed to be just that forum. It brings together empirical and theoretical research and serves as a testing ground for the articulation of new ideas and approaches which may be grounded in a study of South Asian languages but which have universal applicability. Each volume will have three major sections: I. Invited contributions consisting of state-of-the-art essays on research in South Asian languages. II. Refereed open submissions focusing on relevant issues and providing various viewpoints. III. Reports from around the world, book reviews and abstracts of doctoral theses.

This book presents the outcomes of a multi-methodical investigation of the processes of literacy acquisition. The focus is on mono- and bilingual first- and seventh-graders in schools in socially underprivileged areas of two major cities in Turkey and Germany. By means of extensive analyses of lesson videos, linguistic tests, interviews and ethnographic research, social, cultural, linguistic, pedagogic and didactic differences on the international, national, local and individual level are aligned with the momentary problem of exercising a school lesson and acquiring literacy on a daily basis. The results contradict to some degree that cultural and linguistic differences actually make a huge ...

Migration verändert unsere Gesellschaft nachhaltig. Sprache spielt dabei die zentrale Rolle. Sprachlich-kommunikative Prozesse bestimmen Bildungs- und Karrierechancen der Migranten, die kulturelle Teilhabe an Herkunfts- und Aufnahmekultur und die Herstellung von interpersoneller Solidarität, Ab- und Ausgrenzung. DerJahrgangsband 2012widmet sich dem Deutsch der Migranten in seinen linguistischen, soziologischen und pädagogischen Dimensionen. Im Brennpunkt steht, wie Migranten das Deutsche erwerben, verändern und in Relation zu den Herkunftssprachen benutzen: Wie gestaltet sich der Erwerb von Deutsch als Zweitsprache unter dem Einfluss unterschiedlicher Erstsprachen? Welche ein- und mehrsprachigen Weisen des Sprechens und Schreibens benutzen Migranten? Welche strukturellen Besonderheiten weist ihr Deutsch auf? Welche Rolle spielen Sprache und Kommunikation für die Ausbildung, Bewahrung und Transformation von Identitätsentwürfen und biographischen Selbstverständnissen? Wie gestalten sich Prozesse der sprachlichen Kommunikation von Migranten und Einheimischen? Wie hängen Sprache, Bildungs- und Berufssituation der Migranten zusammen?
Der vorliegende Band thematisiert den Orthographieunterricht von der historischen Entwicklung bis zur aktuellen Situation. Der Titel dieses Bandes "Weiterführender Orthographieerwerb" kündigt bereits den Fokus auf die Sekundarstufe I an. Er wendet sich vor allem an Lehrer und Lehrerinnen der weiterführenden Schulen, an Studierende und an Eltern, die ihre Kinder auf dem Weg zu einem sicheren Umgang mit der deutschen Orthographie begleiten wollen. Im Zentrum der Betrachtung stehen die Bereiche Getrennt-/Zusammenschreibung, Groß-/Kleinschreibung, Interpunktion und Fremdwortschreibung. Thematisiert werden konzeptionelle Grundlagen und Erwerbsmodelle, Methoden und Medien, Erfolgskontrollen und Leistungsmessung. Ferner werden exemplarische Unterrichtsmodelle für einen erfolgreichen Orthographieunterrichts vorgestellt, die Anwendung in der Schule finden können. Der Band stellt die FortSetzung zum DTP-Band 2 "Schiftsprach- und Orthographieerwerb: Erstlesen, Erstschreiben" dar, der sich vor allem auf den Beginn des Schriftspracherwerbs und damit auf die basale Orthographievermittlung bezieht.
