About this book

This book investigates the role of emotions in multilinguals' lives and the nexus between languages, gender and emotions. Results show the similarities and differences in how multilinguals express their emotions in different languages and support the call for a change of paradigm towards a holistic approach to multilingualism and emotion research.

Author / Editor information

Resnik Pia :

Pia Resnik is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of English of the University of Vienna, Austria. Her research interests include all aspects surrounding multilingual users of English, with a particular focus on emotions in multilingual contexts. Recently, she has started investigating the effect of tandem language learning on students’ foreign language enjoyment, foreign language anxiety and learner autonomy, a project she collaborates on with colleagues at King’s College London, UK.

Reviews

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.

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.

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.
