Research indicates that each language influences how speakers perceive reality, suggesting that bilingualism alters emotional processing and self-perception based on the language used.
Bilingual individuals often experience greater emotional intensity in their mother tongue, particularly when recalling childhood memories, which are vividly described in the language they learned first.
Switching languages can lead to behavioral differences among bilinguals, as the language spoken influences how they are perceived by others, highlighting the social and emotional dimensions of language.
Using a second language can provide emotional distance, enabling speakers to articulate complex feelings with less anxiety, which contrasts sharply with the more emotionally charged mother tongue.
