Abstract

This article is concerned with the construction of a sense of (non-)belonging in the context of forced migration. It is based on linguistic ethnographic fieldwork carried out in a Turkish town with a group of Iraqi Turkmen women refugees. Using data from audio-recordings of spontaneous interactions in Turkish in informal social gatherings, interviews, and home visits, this research seeks to understand how the sense of belonging and the experience of the sense of otherness are expressed through the Iraqi Turkmen women's discursive accounts. The findings reveal that their perception of foreignness and display of belonging lie on a dynamic continuum, which may reflect the qualities of a liminal stage.

归属感的语言民族志：在土耳其的伊拉克土库曼妇女难民

本文关注的是在强迫移民的背景下构建（非）归属感。它基于在土耳其一个城镇与一群伊拉克土库曼女难民一起进行的语言民族志实地调查。本研究利用土耳其语在非正式社交聚会、采访和家访中自发互动的录音数据，试图了解归属感和另类感体验是如何通过伊拉克土库曼妇女的话语叙述来表达的。研究结果表明，他们对外来感的感知和归属感的表现是一个动态的连续体，这可能反映了一个临界阶段的性质。

期刊介绍： This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted to the interdisciplinary study of language and communication. The investigation of language and its communicational functions is treated as a concern shared in common by those working in applied linguistics, child development, cultural studies, discourse analysis, intellectual history, legal studies, language evolution, linguistic anthropology, linguistics, philosophy, the politics of language, pragmatics, psychology, rhetoric, semiotics, and sociolinguistics. The journal invites contributions which explore the implications of current research for establishing common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour, it is intended to encourage approaches to the study of language and communication which are not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.
