Emotions and Multilingualism Hardback
by Aneta (Temple University, Philadelphia) Pavlenko
Part of the Studies in Emotion and Social Interaction series
Hardback
Description
How do bilinguals experience emotions? Do they perceive and express emotions similarly or differently in their respective languages?
Does the first language remain forever the language of the heart?
What role do emotions play in second language learning and in language attrition?
Why do some writers prefer to write in their second language?
In this provocative book, Pavlenko challenges the monolingual bias of modern linguistics and psychology and uses the lens of bi- and multilingualism to offer a fresh perspective on the relationship between language and emotions.
Bringing together insights from the fields of linguistics, neurolinguistics, psychology, anthropology, psychoanalysis and literary theory, Pavlenko offers a comprehensive introduction to this cross-disciplinary movement.
This is a highly readable and thought-provoking book that draws on empirical data and first hand accounts and offers invaluable advice for novice researchers.
It will appeal to scholars and researchers across many disciplines.
