2.2.8 Bilingualism and Emotion

Pavlenko 2002 in Furmanek, 2006 has attention to the interdependence between emotions and bilingualism. The emotional people speak of emotive discourse and of discourse on emotions. Emotional reactions are generally manifest in intended and intellectual communicative strategies. Bilingualism adds new dimensions to the emotive aspect, it caused for preferring to use different languages in different contexts. The emotion deals with their role in selecting one language over another or in selecting terms in a given language that had been acquired in a context strongly marked by emotion. Furmanek, 2006. Malik 1994 states that usually when bilinguals are tired or angry, code-switching takes place with a new dimension. This means, when the speaker is in the right state of mind, heshe can find the appropriate word or expression in the base language. Languages play an important role in schools, both as a tool to convey the lesson material and media of instruction. language choice for emotion speech acts is governed not only by language dominance, social context, linguistic competence of the interlocutors and perceived language emotionality, but also by affective resources offered by the languages and the speakers’ competence and level of comfort with these resources. www.eprints.undip.ac.id © Master Program in Linguistics, Diponegoro University 33
