Media personalities of the stylized version of Kanakisch exemplified by fairyles by Michael Freidank Märchen auf Kanakisch und so. Wem ist dem geilste Tuss in Land? and their reception by native inhabitants and German students

Abstract

This paper is devoted to the media-stylized version of  Kanakisch (secondary ethnolect), the primary variant of which is practised by ethically mixed youth born and bred in Germany. An important part of the paper, apart from the linguistic analysis of fairytales in Kanakisch, is constituted by statements of native Germans and students from the university of Siegen on how convergent and divergent the secondary and primary Kanakisch, an example of which such a measure can be.
