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.
Efren Perez 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.
