Other than having the feature of being a literary genre, the speech forms the basis of language, culture and education policies since it has the nature of the declaration and advice of the state administrator. Speeches can be considered as constituent language teaching policy texts in terms of their purpose and content while functioning as the construction and preservation of the state tradition. As a matter of fact, the speeches can be viewed from the context of self-presentation to the community represented by the state administrator, and in one respect they contain suggestions for the interlocutor. In the speeches of Turkish cultural history, this interlocutor is not any community or citizen, but directly the Turkish nation. Speeches addressing the Turkish nation also contain codes of strategic importance for nation-based state structuring. Among the specified codes, the codes for Turkish education are also important. In the study, while the function of speech type in the context of language policy was determined in the context of linguistics and educational science, the importance and function of speeches for Turkish education in the history of Turkish education were tried to be determined by linguistic methods. Key Words: Turkish education, speech, linguistics, language policy.

Abstract
Whether there is a trade-off between 'here' (country of settlement) and 'there' (the country of origin) is one of the key political questions and concerns regarding political attitudes and behaviors of immigrant minorities. We take this issue by the horns and study three components of political attitudes and behavior within a transnational framework among Dutch-Turkish citizens in the Netherlands: turnout, political trust and interest, and party choice. The empirical data draws on original exit polls held during the Turkish presidential and parliamentary elections at a polling station in 2014 (n = 791) and in 2015 (n = 456). We find that that gender and country of birth influence electoral participation; social class (working class background as labor migrants) influences voting behavior. While there is a trade-off for political trust and voting behavior, there is no trade-off for political interest. These findings call for a more nuanced approach to transnational political behavior that is attentive to processes of convergence between 'here' and 'there' and the diversity within migrant groups.
