Abstract

Bilingualism may lead to differences in narrative micro- and macrostructural features. Creating a normative data set on the narrative characteristics of healthy Turkish-Kurdish bilinguals may allow for a more effective assessment of language disorders that may occur in bilinguals with acquired brain injury. This study aims to determine how narrative micro- and macrostructural features differ in Turkish-Kurdish bilinguals in single picture and story narratives. A total of 23 bilingual (Turkish-Kurdish) and 23 monolingual (Turkish) healthy individuals were included in the study. Narrative samples were obtained using single pictures and a story. Micro- and macrostructural features were compared between bilinguals and monolinguals matched for age, education, and gender. Mean length utterance-morpheme and clausal density variables, considered as indicators of grammatical complexity, were higher in monolinguals in both single picture and story narratives. Morphemic errors were higher for bilinguals. Effort behaviors, which can interrupt verbal efficiency, were higher in bilinguals in single picture narratives. While there was no difference between the groups in verbal fluency (phonemic and categorical), the lexical diversty in storytelling was higher in monolinguals. In terms of macrostructural features, cognitive inferences in the story context and emotional discourse in the single picture context were higher in monolinguals, while enrichment expressions in the single picture narrative were higher in bilinguals. In both groups, macrostructural features such as cognitive inferences and expressions of uncertainty in discourse were negatively correlated with grammatical complexity variables. Turkish-Kurdish bilinguals’ single picture and story narratives in Turkish may show semantic, morphosyntactic and pragmatic differences compared to Turkish-speaking monolinguals.

比较土耳其语-库尔德语双语者和土耳其语单语者的微观和宏观叙事结构特征
双语可能导致叙事微观和宏观结构特征的差异。建立一个关于健康的土耳其-库尔德双语者叙事特征的标准数据集,可以更有效地评估后天脑损伤双语者可能出现的语言障碍。本研究旨在确定土耳其语-库尔德语双语者在单幅图片和故事叙述中的叙述微观和宏观结构特征有何不同。本研究共纳入了 23 名双语(土耳其语-库尔德语)和 23 名单语(土耳其语)健康人。研究人员通过单幅图片和一个故事获得了叙事样本。研究人员比较了双语者和单语者的微观和宏观结构特征,他们的年龄、教育程度和性别均相匹配。在单幅图片和故事叙述中,被视为语法复杂性指标的语篇-语素和分句密度变量的平均长度在单语者中更高。双语者的语素错误率更高。在单幅图片的叙述中,双语者的努力行为较高,而这种行为会影响言语效率。虽然两组学生在语言流畅性(音位和分类)方面没有差异,但单语学生在讲故事时的词汇多样性更高。在宏观结构特征方面,故事语境中的认知推断和单幅图片语境中的情感话语在单语者中更高,而在单幅图片叙事中的丰富表达在双语者中更高。在这两个群体中,认知推断和话语中不确定性的表达等宏观结构特征与语法复杂性变量呈负相关。土耳其语-库尔德语双语者的土耳其语单幅图画和故事叙述与土耳其语单语者相比,在语义、形态句法和语用方面可能存在差异。

期刊介绍: Folia Linguistica covers all non-historical areas in the traditional disciplines of general linguistics (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics), and also sociological, discoursal, computational and psychological aspects of language and linguistic theory. Other areas of central concern are grammaticalization and language typology. The journal consists of scientific articles presenting results of original research, review articles, overviews of research in specific areas, book reviews, and a miscellanea section carrying reports and discussion notes. In addition, proposals from prospective guest editors for occasional special issues on selected current topics are welcomed.
