https://www.scienceslam.de/ "Shall we go to the cinema later?", "I'm a baker." Nobody talks like that - that was Dr. Diana Marossek's opinion. But she was proven wrong. Contractions and articles are simply omitted in conversations. Insults serve as a means of communication - every day and between people from different backgrounds. The sociolinguist has researched the topic for ten years and tried to find out why people speak like that. Diana Marossek spent hours riding the Berlin Ringbahn and sitting in cafes to listen to people speak. Disguised as a trainee teacher, she listened to students' conversations in schoolyards. In total, she listened to over 5,000 people for her study. During her research, Diana Marossek noticed that in the literature, the expression is repeatedly referred to as "Turkish German" or "Assi-Sprech". But many native German speakers speak like that. In her doctoral thesis, Kiezdeutsch is quickly changed to Kurzdeutsch – a new term for the everyday language style is born.
