Why your political beliefs are influenced by the language you speak
Voicing Politics brings together the latest findings from
psychology and political science to reveal how the linguistic
peculiarities of different languages can have meaningful
consequences for political attitudes and beliefs around the world.
Efrén Pérez and Margit Tavits demonstrate that different
languages can make mental content more or less accessible and
thereby shift political opinions and preferences in predictable
directions. They rigorously test this hypothesis using carefully
crafted experiments and rich cross-national survey data, showing
how language shapes mass opinion in domains such as gender
equality, LGBTQ rights, environmental conservation, ethnic
relations, and candidate evaluations. Voicing Politics traces how
these patterns emerge in polities spanning the globe, shedding
essential light on how simple linguistic quirks can affect our
political views. This incisive book calls on scholars of political
behavior to take linguistic nuances more seriously and charts new
directions for researchers across diverse fields. It explains how a
stronger grasp of linguistic effects on political cognition can
help us better understand how people form political attitudes and
why political outcomes vary across nations and regions.
