| summary | Multilingualism and emotional effects during the reading process in different languages“(Languages of Emotion, FU Berlin) investigates whether the processing of emotional content of linguistic material in L2 is – in general- comparable to that of L1 processing.
We are also interested in the documentation of differential emotional connotations of comparable concepts across different language systems, and focus our research on the consequences of such phenomena for bilingual language processing.
To be able to address these research questions we have extended existing normative databases providing rating values for emotional dimensions of words (valence, arousal, imageability) to a shared common base of more than 5,000 English, German and Spanish words.
Data will be presented from behavioural rating experiments as well as from lexical decision EEG experiments using words from these databases and addressing phenomena as:
Can event related potentials inform us how automatic the processing of
emotional content is in L1 and L2?
How do bilinguals behave when presented with a cross linguistic emotional
conflict? |
