Annotation

This paper examines to what degree first language (L1) versus second language (L2) use and adhesion to native Turkish versus Dutch majority language and culture affect L2 Dutch skills amidst Turkish-Dutch bilinguals. When L2 is defined as one united result, solely preferential language appears as best language development predictor.
