Speaking Your Mind - Bilingual Language, Culture, and Emotion
In much of the world, speaking multiple languages is the norm. Virtually

language has focused on monolingual English speakers. But in the last

speak multiple languages. This research has included how bilinguals’
brains manage multiple languages, how they feel emotional words in their
different languages, and whether their behavior and personality change
when they speak different languages.
