Abstract
There are more multilingual speakers in the world than monolinguals. Human mobility through immigration is one of the reasons for contact between speakers of different languages.
During my talk, I will focus on Turkish-Dutch immigrant community in the Netherlands with the following highlights:

tBrief background about the multilingual communication in immigrant communities
tInvestigating research questions from Sociolinguistics using computational methods of analyses (e.g. automatic language identification, pattern prediction, social network analyses).
tComparison of spoken vs. online data, small vs. big data
tChallenges and advantages of publishing multi-disciplinary research
tImplications of my published research for policy making.
