Besides perfectly cano-nical patterns for adjectival inflection and linearization, the data contain instances where uninflected adjectives precede or follow the noun (<em>normal Pide</em>, ‘regular pita bread’; <em>Weintrauben lecker</em>, ‘grapes delicious’) or where adjectives are inflected with a reduction morpheme -<em>e</em> <br>(<em>türkische Mokka</em>, ‘Turkish mocha’). I am showing that these patterns occur highly systematic. Concerning the question of what factors might have influenced the emergence of these patterns, I argue that speakers pick up typological and language-internal tendencies and apply these to new grammatical contexts. The linguistic diversity at the market as the site of these linguistic developments plays a central role for that.</p> ER -
