Türkiye’den Avrupa’ya göç ve göçmenlerin ürettikleri metinler
Migration from Turkey into Europe and texts produced by migrants

Summary/Abstract: In 1960s, a considerable number of workers emigrated from their countries, assuming that they were leaving there temporarily. The act of migrating is defined in the monolingual Turkish Dictionary of the Turkish Language Association (TDK) as "the one (person, family or community) who leaves his/her country and goes to another country in order to settle there", "a person, family or social group who travels from one country to another with the aim of settling there" and "the act of going from one settlement to another, from one country to another generally with the aim of settling", which do not refer to any bad, discriminating or racist meaning and that comprise the conception of "settling". Literary expression, on the other hand, is the translation and expression of the problem of human existence. The choice of language reveals the internal, identity-related and psychological tension in the author. This choice is an indicator of identity for the author. Whether it’s ideological or symbolic, writing in the language of the other might be acknowledged as a sort of alienation and betrayal. It is the indicator of inner suffering and tension. Multilingual individuals feel attached to the language they use and that constitute a part of their identity. This study dwells upon the multilinguality and the multiculture that reflect upon the reader, the calls of the first generation of the migrants who tried to make their voices heard and to communicate interculturally and the culture shock observed in their writing through the texts produced by the said migrants
