Hi Rachel,
Great topic and good depth to your research so far. You've got your dissertation topic here!
Yes, lots of research to be done in Berlin, but you are doing well to gather the background on this issue. Have you looked into "Denglish"? Lots of stuff coming out on this. Also, you might want to look at some theoretical readings that highlight "minority language". Deleuze an Guattari's "A Thousand Plateaus" is interesting...it's a different take on the subject of "minor"ity. Interesting also to take a comparative look at language policy in US and Germany.
Here's an interesting read..
