Özet
Drawing on a larger linguistic ethnographic project (Erduyan, 2019), this chapter focuses on the incorporation of urban, Turkey-Turkish speech style into the Turkish heritage language classroom discourse in the context of Germany. Adopting a microethnographic framework through scalar lenses, the analyses center on naturally occurring word search sessions in two different Turkish classes. The foci of analyses are on two adjectives that have gone through semantic widening in Turkey-Turkish in recent years (komik, arızalı) and are incorporated into teacher-led classroom discussions. Findings demonstrate that the newly attributed meanings of these adjectives in context are not equally transparent to the teachers and students alike; and the Turkish-German transnational scale that gets constructed in a diversity of ways across the students and the teachers seems to play a role in this difference.
