How do bilinguals experience emotions? Do they perceive and express emotions similarly or differently in their respective languages? Pavlenko challenges the monolingual bias of modern linguistics and psychology by bringing together insights from the fields of linguistics, neurolinguistics, bilingualism, psychology, anthropology, psychoanalysis and literary theory. The book is thought-provoking with a wide appeal.
