Answer:

Studies have shown that learners with high degrees of socialization with the target language community acquire the target language better (Lybeck, 200221. Lybeck , K. E. 2002. The role of acculturation and social networks in the acquisition of second language pronunciation Minneapolis, MN: University of Minnesota.. (Unpublished doctoral dissertation) View all references; Schumann, 197838. Schumann , J. H. 1978. “Social and psychological factors in second language acquisition.”.

Milroy's (1987) use of social network theory in sociolinguistics indicates that socialization patterns are constituted by structural relationships of different types and strengths. Using a cross-sectional design, this study addresses young Kurds' socialization patterns and their acquisition of a Turkish accent. It explores density and multiplexity of nonfamily exchange, interactive and passive Kurdish, Turkish, and both Kurdish/Turkish-speaking networks of Kurdish learners across five native-like accent groups. Data from 121 middle/high school students include speech samples from a read-aloud accent test, questionnaires, interviews, and observations. Results suggest significant variation in participants' accents and reveal that participants with more multiplex Turkish-speaking networks received higher accent ratings. Qualitative results also suggest differences in the density and multiplexity of social networks of participants in low versus high accent groups
