Abstract

This chapter examines intercultural adaptation as negotiation of communicative norms, cultural values, and identity positions in secular and multicultural contexts. It focuses on a rural-origin Muslim student in the Netherlands, showing how religious identity, linguistic resources, and social positioning influence adaptation. Data from interviews and documents were analyzed using transitivity and appraisal frameworks. Findings show shifts in participation, negotiation of religious accommodation, and adjustment of interactional norms, extending research by considering rural background and limited pre-departure exposure. The chapter recommends tailored preparation, peer mentoring, and recognition of religious practices while demonstrating the value of integrating identity and acculturation perspectives with linguistic analysis.
