Abstract
Do bilinguals express feelings differently in their two languages? This is a question that many bilinguals have anecdotally reported. This matter has also been explored by bilingual writers (Green, 1985; Hoffman, 1989; Rodriguez, 1982; Steiner, 1975), scholars discussing these authors (Beaujour, 1989; Pavlenko, 1998; see also Besemeres, this volume), patients in psychotherapy (Amati-Mehler, et al., 1993; Schrauf 2000), and experimentalists (Ervin, 1964; Koven, 1998; Pavlenko, 2002a) who have noted the different quality of bilinguals’ affective expressions in their two languages.
