“…Since evidential morphemes indicate how the speaker knows an event, the use is expected to remain consistent during a story. Aarssen's (2001) findings imply that the heritage speakers' control over semantic and pragmatic content signaled by the evidential forms is not yet consolidated by the age of 10.…”

“…Akıncı (2003) reported similar findings for heritage speakers (aged 12-17) born in France. Specifically, Aarssen (2001) observed a high number of inappropriate choices of evidentiality 7 where speakers shift from one evidential form to the other without a clear pragmatic reason. Since evidential morphemes indicate how the speaker knows an event, the use is expected to remain consistent during a story.…”

“…What is known about the possible erosion of evidential forms is restricted to a handful of narrative studies. Aarssen (2001) showed that Turkish heritage speakers (aged 4-10) born in the Netherlands tend to overuse the present progressive over the evidential forms in their retellings of FROG STORIES. Akıncı (2003) reported similar findings for heritage speakers (aged 12-17) born in France.…”

“…To summarize, previous studies have shown that Turkish monolingual children acquire the direct evidential earlier than both the indirect evidential and participle forms (Aksu-Koç, 1988;Ekmekçi, 1990;Öztürk & Papafragou, 2007Öztürk & Papafragou, , 2008. The evidential forms tend to be problematic in both child and adult heritage-speakers' narratives (e.g., Aarssen, 2001;Arslan & Bastiaanse, 2014). Nevertheless, there are still some questions to be answered.…”

Processing grammatical evidentiality and time reference in Turkish heritage and monolingual speakers

In the current study, we examined how adult heritage and monolingual speakers of Turkish process evidentiality (the linguistic expression of information source) through finite verb inflections and time reference, expressed on non-finite participles. A sentence-verification task was used to measure participants’ sensitivity to evidentiality and time-reference violations in Turkish. Our findings showed that the heritage speakers were less accurate and slower than the monolinguals in responding to both evidentiality and time-reference violations. Also, the heritage speakers made more errors and had longer RTs when responding to evidentiality violations as compared to time-reference violations. The monolinguals had longer RTs (and more accurate responses) to time reference than to evidentiality violations. This study shows that evidentiality is susceptible to incomplete acquisition in Turkish heritage speakers. It is suggested that the requirement for simultaneous processing at different linguistic levels makes the evidentiality markers vulnerable.

“…Early studies on Turkish bilingual speakers' attainment of evidentiality are rather restricted to narrative speech studies. For instance, (Pfaff 1991(Pfaff , 1993 examined child Turkish heritage speakers2 in Germany using free-speech production tasks; Aarssen (2001) investigated Turkish child heritage speakers in the Netherlands and Karakoç (2007) those living in Germany using narrative speech elicitation tasks based on stories. These studies showed that child Turkish heritage speakers make inconsistent uses of evidentiality marking when contrasted to their Turkish monolingual peers, suggesting that in childhood bilingualism stabilization of evidentiality may be delayed.…”

Evidentiality, the linguistic indication of information sources from which a speaker knows his statement, is grammatically obligatory and is expressed through inflectional morphology for direct and indirect information sources in Turkish. Although it is a rather well-studied system regarding its theoretical basis and its acquisition in children, experimental studies targeting persons with aphasia or bilingual individuals measuring time-sensitive aspects of evidentiality processing are scant. This chapter provides an overview of evidentiality in Turkish and details out recent neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic studies on evidentiality in this language, reporting the time-course of evidentiality processing evidenced with timed sentence verification, eye-tracking and other behavioural data. In the light of these data, the chapter evaluates some controversies on evidentiality in Turkish, making clear implications as to how evidentiality processing is modulated by psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic factors.
