CONSEQUENCES OF LANGUAGE INTERFERENCE IN VERBAL COMMUNICATION OF BOSNIAN IMMIGRANTS IN GERMANY

Summary/Abstract: This paper wishes to emphasize the negative influence of German language on mother tongue, Bosnian language of the immigrants living in the German cities and negative consequences that, among other things, are the result of different understandings of the central role of the mother tongue. The main goal of this paper is to show the degree of the knowledge of Bosnian language by a group of children that completed the elementary school in German cities where the curriculum was mainly taught in the German language and examine their position towards their mother tongue and their desire to learn the Bosnian language. It also wishes to emphasize the need at finding preventive measures to preserve the Bosnian language with the new generations of the children of the Bosnian origin.
