Language Attitudes, Shift and the Ethnolinguistic Vitality of the Greek Orthodox Community in Istanbul

“…Subsequent updates of this theory, e.g. the Subjective Vitality Questionnaire (SVQ) (Bourhis et al ., 1981) and the 'Beliefs on Ethnolinguistic Vitality Questionnaire' (BEVQ) (Landry & Allard, 1986) have become useful tools in the investigation of interethnic group relations (see for example Karahan, 2004;Landry et al , 1996;Willemyns et al , 1993;Yagmur et al , 1999).…”
