The documentation of Cappadocian, a seriously endagngered minority language in Greece

Cappadocian is a seriously endagnered Greek-Turkish mixed language spoken in Greece by Orthodox-Christian immigrants following the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in the 1920s. The research focuses on the documentation of Cappadocian (grammar, lexicon, text corpora), the sociolinguistic status of the language in bi- and trilingual language communities (Cappadocian, Greek, Turkish) and the prospects for revitalisation.
