This study particularly aims toinvestigate whether these converbial constructions are prone to language change inthe speech production of the first and second generations of Dutch-Turkish speakerswithin the framework of usage-based linguistics. In line with the research aims, thisstudy utilizes semi-structured interviews applied to three groups of participants:Dutch-Turkish bilingual speakers from a first-generation background (n=11), Dutch-Turkish bilingual speakers from a second-generation background (n=12) and a controlgroup of Turkish monolingual speakers (n=12). Analyses of the data obtained from thethree groups of participants reveal that the participants’ speech production ofconverbial constructions indicates a linguistic change in converbial constructions inthe frequency of the use of converbs.

Bu araştırmaamaçları için Hollandaca-Türkçe iki dilli ve Türkçe tek dilli katılımcılardan yarıyapılandırılmışgörüşmeler aracılığıyla veri toplanmıştır. Üç farklı katılımcı grubundanveri toplanmıştır. Grup 1’de yer alan 11 katılımcı Hollanda’ya çalışmak amaçlı gidenbirinci nesil Hollandaca-Türkçe iki dilli bireylerden oluşurken Grup 2’deki katılımcılarHollanda’da doğup büyüyen ve ikinci nesil içerisinde değerlendiren 12 iki dilliden oluşmaktadır. Hollanda’da toplanan verinin karşılaştırılması amacıyla Türkiye’dekatılımcıların göç ettikleri illerdeki 11 tek dilli Türkçe konuşurundan da veritoplanmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan veriler; ulaç kullanım biçimleri bağlamındainceleneceğinden öncelikle beş Türkçe-Hollandaca iki dilli ve beş Türkçe tek dillikatılımcının günlük yaşamları içerisinde, farklı dilsel bağlamlarda, kullandıkları sözlüiletişimleri ses-kaydı yapılarak toplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular neticesindeHollanda’da yaşayan Hollandaca-Türkçe iki dilli bireylerin kullanım bağlamında ulaçlıyapıların Türkçe tek dilli katılımcılara göre daha az kullandıkları ve kullanım türleribağlamında ise devam eden değinim-odaklı bir değişimin var olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.
