Klappentext

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.
