Abstract

In his book “Intergenerational Language Use and Acculturation of Turkish Speakers in Four Immigration Contexts”, Yağmur examines the possible impact of integration policies of Australia, France, Germany and the Netherlands on the adaptation of Turkish immigrants. The language aspect has not been sufficiently involved in many acculturation studies so far. That is why this book offers a valuable perspective about the relationship between language behavior and acculturation patterns, thereby analyzing the differences between first and second generation Turkish immigrants and comparing the effect of integration policies of host countries with each other.
