“…The specific research perspective is reflected by the choice of the term ‘style’ instead of ‘variety’. Interactional linguistic studies so far focused on the ways speakers make use of ethnic styles in order to organise turn‐taking (Şimşek ), narratives (Kern & Selting 2006a,b; Kern , ; Selting ) and information structure (Kern & Selting 2006a,b; Selting ; Şimşek ). The constitution of rhythmic patterns and of semantic contrast has been another area of research (Kern ).…”

“…In doing this, information units are split up into short prosodic units (cf. Kern andSelting 2006a,2006b;Selting 2011). As a consequence, prosodic units in Turkish German relate to syntactic and semantic units in ways that are different from variants of closer-to-standard German (cf.…”

Today, long-term effects of migration into Germany are shown most notably in the emergence of linguistic practices of young people, many of them second or third generation migrants, in urban areas. Turkish German describes a way of speaking that first emerged in young people's speech in multi-ethnic urban areas and was first associated with Turkish adolescents. Later, it became widely known through its appearance in films, comedies and rap songs. In contrast to earlier studies on immigrants' language in Germany (see section 1), Turkish German is not associated with imperfect acquisition but with the manner in which speakers actively construct and perform ethnic identities and other social meanings via language. Turkish German is conceptualised either as an ethnolect, or an ethnic style, implying different research traditions with focus on different aspects of linguistic descriptions. Other studies choose the term 'Kiezdeutsch' over Turkish German to emphasise the ways of speaking multiethnolectal dimension.It is the aim of this article to present different linguistic approaches to Turkish German, with a critical discussion of some of the key concepts, and to give an overview over its linguistic features and functions on the basis of relevant empirical studies on the linguistic practices among Turkish-German bilinguals.

The fantasy of authenticity: understanding the paradox of retail gentrification in Seoul from a Lacanian perspective

Gentrification studies have well-documented how gentrifiers’ alternative consumption practices of seeking ‘authenticity’ lead to retail gentrification. However, they pay scant attention to the paradoxical subjects of gentrification who continue to take part in gentrification by consuming authenticity, even as they criticize the gentrification-driven loss of authenticity. Drawing upon Lacanian psychoanalysis and ethnographic research in one of the gentrifying neighborhoods in Seoul, South Korea, this article demonstrates how the fantasy of authenticity sustains this paradox while facilitating the continuing retail gentrification. As part of the process, various subjects of gentrification name the neighborhood differently – Seochon and Sejong Village – and claim that their own name is more authentic than the other. In and beyond this toponym debate, the fantasy of authenticity allows the subjects to constantly cross the borders of authentic/inauthentic and gentrifier/gentrified, and thus, reinvest their endless desire for ‘something more authentic’. Ultimately, by bridging psychoanalysis and gentrification studies, I argue that we, as the subjects of gentrification, should bear responsibility for our compelling desire for and fantasy of authenticity to challenge the cycle of the ongoing retail gentrification.
