Abstract

This paper presents one aspect of the communicative repertoire of a group of young migrant women in Mannheim, the use of 'Gastarbeiterdeutsch'. This is the German variety used by the first generation of working migrants in Germany. For the young women of the second generation this speech variety is not part of their 'we'-code. In discourse with members of their parents' generation and with Germans, the young women use this speech variety in specific socio-symbolic functions. On the basis of some discourse examples, the interactively constructed meaning of 'Gastarbeiterdeutsch' is analytically reconstructed, and the relation between 'Gastarbeiterdeutsch' and relevant social categories is elaborated.
