On Multilingualism: Thinking and Feeling in One’s Second Language

An interdisciplinary conversation on multilingualism between two researchers from different disciplines. From their respective scholarly perspectives, linguist Inger Lindberg and psychologist Alexandra Dylman discuss multilingualism’s relationship to cognition, education and emotional life. Who does one become when one has to live one’s life in a second language? How does multilingualism affect one’s emotional life and decision-making? How are different languages situated in the brain?
