Multilinguals' Verbalisation and Perception of Emotions

Reviews / Votes

This book represents a major contribution to the research on multilingualism and emotion. Pia Resnik has managed to present an excellent overview of the research to date, to which she now adds her own original analyses and findings. A fascinating read. * Jean-Marc Dewaele, Birkbeck, University of London, UK * Pia Resnik provides a fresh, contemporary understanding of the complex and dynamic interconnections between emotions, language and gender in multilingual and multicultural contexts. It is an exciting, rich and incredibly valuable contribution, which is certain to inspire further research. It is compulsory reading for anyone interested in these areas and I will be recommending it widely. * Sarah Mercer, University of Graz, Austria * A stimulating, novel but logical marriage between emotion studies and multi-competence through well-executed studies, with conclusions for the sheer complexity of this relationship, unexpectedly involving gender and age of acquisition. * Vivian Cook, Emeritus, Newcastle University, UK * This contribution is a very skillful attempt to capture an extensive range of aspects

concerning affectivity in multilinguals and their perception and expression of emotions in the L1 and the LX. -- Alex Panicacci, Birkbeck College, University of London, UK * International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2019 * This book offers an important reference in studying language learning emotions. [It] is a recommended reading for those multilingual language teachers and learners, the researchers in the field of language learning and teaching emotions, and those interested in CDST and its wider application in applied linguistics. -- Honggang Liu and Hanxi Li, Northeast Normal University, China * System, September 2019 *
