Autre: Does CASE trump determiners? Considering blocking effects in heritage Turkishes in Germany and the U.S.
Definiteness in heritage Turkishes
![](/assets/event_large-b1265012b59ad25ca6f46229f639d55e23bc36a6c59e77aa0bfa51fe9aa63a5e.png)
We present a study on different patterns of expressing definite meanings in heritage Turkishes. A key finding is that heritage speakers use fewer determiners compared to their monolingual peers. We argue that this is linked to a blocking effect by accusative case which also expresses definiteness. Our hypotheses and findings call for a revisit of discussions around definiteness in Turkishes.
