The Turkish Language Reform: A Catastrophic Success (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780199256693)

This is the first account of the transformation of the Turkish language in the years following 1930--probably the most extensive piece of language engineering ever attempted. The book is important both for the study of linguistic change and for the light it throws on twentieth-century Turkish politics and society.
