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.
