This volume provides an up-to-date and evaluative review of
theoretical and empirical stances on emotion and its close
interaction with language and cognition in monolingual and
bilingual individuals. Importantly, it presents a novel
methodological approach that takes into account contextual
information and hence goes beyond the reductionist approach to
affective language that has dominated contemporary research. Owing
to this pragmatic approach, the book presents brand new findings in
the field of bilingualism and affect and offers the first
neurocognitive interpretation of findings reported in clinical and
introspective studies in bilingualism. This not only represents an
invaluable contribution to the literature, but may also constitute
a breakthrough in the investigation of the worldwide phenomenon of
bilingualism. Beginning with a thorough review of the history and
current state of affective research and its relation to language,
spanning philosophical, psychological, neuroscientific, and
linguistic perspectives, the volume then proceeds to explore affect
manifestation using neuropragmatic methods in monolingual and
bilingual individuals. In doing so, it brings together findings
from clinical and introspective studies in bilingualism with
cognitive, psychophysiological and neuroimaging paradigms. By
combining conceptual understanding and methodological expertise
from many disciplines, this volume provides a comprehensive picture
of the dynamic interactions between contextual and affective
information in the language domain. Thus, Affect-Language
Interactions in Native and Non-Native English Speakers: A
Neuropragmatic Perspective fosters a pragmatic approach to research
on affective language processing in monolingual and bilingual
population, one that builds bridges across disciplines and sparks
important new questions in the cognitive neuroscience of bi- and
multilingualism.
