Abstract

Bu makalede Hollanda Türk toplumunun anadili korunumu ve etnik dilsel canlılık algıları tartışılmaktadır. Giles, Bourhis & Taylor’nin (1977) etnik dilsel canlılık kuramsal çerçevesini kullanarak Türk göçmenlerin anadili kullanımı, tercihi ve dil tutumlarına ilişkin veri toplanmıştır. Eğitimin dil kullanımı üzerindeki etkisi düşünülerek, eğitim bağımsız bir değişken olarak kullanılarak veriler analiz edilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın sonuçları eğitimin anadili korunumu ve kaybı konusundaki rolü üzerine değerli katkılar sunmuştur. Yüksek eğitimli Türk göçmenler hem anadillerinde hem de Hollandacada çok daha yetkin durumdadırlar; ancak Türkçeye ilişkin tutumları düşük eğitimli göçmenler kadar olumlu değildir.
