acculturation
Let an agent explain acculturation and its forms and models, describe voluntary and coercive acculturation with attribution, present research on migrant adaptation, and support cultural and historical study.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain acculturation and its forms and models, describe voluntary and coercive acculturation with attribution, present research on migrant adaptation, and support cultural and historical study.
The process of cultural and psychological change that occurs when groups or individuals from different cultures come into sustained contact, including adoption of language, customs and values, in forms ranging from voluntary adaptation by migrants to state-driven programmes such as Sovietisation or colonial assimilation and language replacement known as glottophagy; acculturation is studied in anthropology, psychology and history, and its coercive forms are described here with attribution to historians and affected communities.
What it is for: Cultural change from contact between cultures.
It can be explain forms and models; describe voluntary and coercive cases; present research; support study.
