Накратко на български
Граматиката на двуезични хора в Нидерландия, говорещи нидерландски и специфичен турски диалект, се анализира чрез сравнение между поколенията. Това помага да се разбере как миграцията и ежедневната комуникация влияят върху запазването и промяната на езика.

Preservation and Adaptation in Turkish as a Heritage Language (PATH) - A Natural Language Laboratory in a Small Dutch Town
The European experience cannot be fully described without any reference to bilingualism. New language pairs continue to emerge as a result of migration both within the EU and from outside into the EU. Differences in individual experiences as well as societal, national and regional practices result in massive variation in bilingual outcomes, making it difficult to test the degree to which any potential factor causes such variation. PATH aims to reduce some of this variation by controlling for the regional dialect factor. Accordingly, it looks at aspects of the bilingual grammar of Turkish-Dutch speakers who migrated from a particular region of Turkey where a unique micro-dialect of Turkish is spoken. Speakers of this language variety moved to a small town in The Netherlands in the 1960s and 1970s to work at a nearby steel factory. This close-knit community of Turkish speakers makes a unique natural laboratory, and thus, provides the researcher with an opportunity to test variation across generations as Turkish and Dutch languages interact on a daily basis by keeping factors related to dialectal variation as well as certain social background variables constant.

Цел на проекта
Understanding how languages leak into each other in the bilingual brain is a central testing ground for theories of language in the brain (which will inform all future educational policy), and also for theories of language change under contact. However, the crucial detailed information is strikingly difficult to obtain because of the massive variability in human experience. If one attempts to find generalizations in this area, one is faced with the uncertainty that the effects are not due to principled cognitive factors but to some combination of external factors of the environment and/or specific details of the particular language pairing involved, including the precise dialects in question. In addition, any changes in the development of a HL must be compared directly to the natural changes going on in that language in its native context, so that normal language change can be factored out. The exciting and unique feature of this project is that in this study we control for these factors by closely examining a particular community of residents with a Turkish background in Drunen, a small town in the North Brabant province of the Netherlands. The members of this community migrated from small towns in Rize, a province on the eastern Black Sea coast of Turkey, where a unique dialect of Turkish is spoken. Influenced from Greek and Armenian (Indo-European) as well as Laz (Kartvelian), this regional variety demonstrates substantial differences from other varieties of Turkish in Turkey and is classified a separate dialect group on its own. PATH will examine a sub-dialect of this unique variety as it has been spoken by three generations of ±350 residents in Drunen to investigate how different components of grammar (phonology, lexicon, syntax) show variation and change in a bilingual setting.
