This book examines the linguistic behavior, specifically the use of Greek and Turkish by the new generation of the Greek Orthodox minority, as represented by the students attending the Greek Orthodox minority schools in Istanbul.
Particular emphasis is placed on sociolinguistic areas, the intensity, frequency, and fluency of Greek and Turkish usage, the use of various linguistic repertoires, the functionality of the two languages, the emotional connection of students to their respective languages, the value attributed to both languages by young speakers, and ultimately, their opinions regarding bilingual education and the challenges faced by students in the language classes of both languages (Greek and Turkish).
Concerns about the linguistic present and future of the diaspora • The “miracle” (?) of linguistic survival • The emerging linguistic diversity of the student population of the Greek Orthodox minority schools in Istanbul since the 1990s has overturned the social factors that have long sustained the status of bilingualism • What actions can be taken to address the current situation in light of the scientific findings of sociolinguistic research on the language use of the student population of the Greek Orthodox minority schools in Istanbul? • Could this research serve as a catalyst for a new educational policy to ensure the linguistic future of the Greek Orthodox minority in Istanbul?
