This article discusses Turkish-German bilingual children’s intonation pat- terns as they relate to processes of contact-induced language change. Bilin- gual speakers use two distinct rises in both Turkish and German. One rise (L*HH%) resembles a characteristic German rise, while the other (L%H%) resembles a characteristic Turkish rise. The rises pattern pragmatically in ways that are non-normative for both Turkish and German. Although this pattern is not clearly attributable to language interference (either borrowing or shift-induced language change), it is certainly the result of language con- tact. Fusion is proposed to account for the two-way influence between the two languages. (Language contact, intonation, German, Turkish, Turkish immigrants in Germany)*
