%X This paper investigates attitudes about Turkish-German codemixing.
The data presented is part of a study consisting of an online
survey that collected demographic information on the participants
and their reactions to short film clips. Clips in which characters
speak German, Turkish, or a mixture of the two were chosen from
two films by the Turkish-German director, Fatih Akin. The survey
was available in German, Turkish, and English. This paper discusses
open-ended responses to the survey with a concentration on evaluative
comments regarding language use. The survey was administered
to 20 native German speakers, 26 native Turkish speakers, and 12
native Turkish-German bilinguals. This paper expands upon themes
in the responses with detailed content analysis. The results illuminate
the connections that exist between the use of code-mixing and
social characteristics in the minds of the participants. Results indicate
that bilingual Turkish-German speakers as well as Germanspeakers
and Turkish-speakers evaluate mixing negatively.
